YORK golfer Simon Dyson dropped into a tie for 22nd place after a third round 73 in the BMW International Open in Cologne.
The world number 47 went into Saturday's action on six under par after opening with rounds of 68 and 70.
However, he endured an up and down front nine, with bogeys at the first, fifth and ninth holes interspersed with birdies at three, six and eight.
After the turn, Dyson bogeyed the 12th and 16th holes while picking up a shot at the 13th.
Fellow Yorkshireman Danny Willett leads the field by a shot on 12 under par.
