Monza (Italy) (AFP) - Martin Kaymer edged closer to a first win since his US Open triumph last year when he grabbed a share of the Italian Open third round lead on Saturday.

The German carded a 65 to move alongside Sweden's Jens Fahrbring and Romain Wattel of France on 199 for the tournament at 17 under par.

"I started off well," said Kaymer.
