Olesen and Stenson joint leaders of weather-hit 
BMW International Open in Germany

FROM THE EUROPEAN TOUR WEBSITE
Thorbjørn Olesen joined Henrik Stenson at the top of the leaderboard as the weather-interrupted third round of the BMW International Open got back under way at Golf Club Gut Laerchenhof.
Only three players were able to finish their third rounds on Saturday as heavy rain and waterlogged areas of the course meant that the leaders could not even begin their third rounds.
But with clear skies on Sunday morning, play was resumed and Olesen was the man making a move as two birdies in his first four holes moved him up to 12 under alongside Stenson.
The Dane had started the day two shots behind his Swedish rival but gains on the par five third and the the par three fourth saw him hit the summit after five holes of his third round.
Swede Stenson was playing in the group behind and he also took advantage of the par five to get into red numbers for the day and sit a shot clear of Thailand's Kiradech Aphibarnrat.
The three-time European Tour winner had a birdie on the third but gave the shot back on the fifth.
Frenchman Raphaël Jacquelin, who had held the lead after rounds one and two, made a bogey on the fourth to slip to ten under with South African Zander Lombard alongside him after a birdie on the fifth.
Defending champion Pablo Larrazábal was then at nine under, a shot clear of Felipe Aguilar, Darren Fichardt and Joost Luiten.
David Horsey had set the clubhouse target at seven under after completing a 66, with some of the field having already started their final rounds as we played catch-up on day four.
