Hansen shares lead of Portugal Masters after 3 rounds
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A year after announcing his retirement from full-time golf, Anders Hansen took a share of the lead at the Portugal Masters after going 9-under 62 through the third round on Saturday.
The Danish golfer shares a one-stroke lead with Finland's Mikko Korhonen.
Hansen made nine birdies in a flawless round.

"I didn't really have a strategy, just go out and play, and just try to enjoy it," Hansen said. "I'm very happy where I am and there is no re-think about starting playing golf again. It probably helps a little bit because it doesn't really matter to me either way."
Padraig Harrington is one stroke behind Hansen and Korhonen.
