Romero takes over as Karlsson finally falters |
 |
|
Crans-sur-Sierre, Switzerland - Robert Karlsson s impregnable hold on the European Masters was finally broken on Saturday as Eduardo Romero vaulted to the top.
And in addition to displacing the tall Swede, the 49-year-old Argentine can become the oldest European Tour champion by one year and 18 days if he wins the title on Sunday.
Romero shot 67 and Els 68. Karlsson is now third, a level-par 71 knocking
him three shots shy of the lead.

Karlsson is unstoppable - so far |
| Crans-sur-Sierre, Switzerland - There is something about the mountains of
Switzerland that brings the best out of Robert Karlsson and the tall Swede
continued his dominance of the European Masters to lead it for the sixth
successive round.
The tall Swede overcame an early double bogey to fashion a four-under-par 67 on Friday to remain ahead of the pack, a position he held after every round as he won by four shots last year and which he shared with Ernie Els on Thursday.
