DP World Tour : Made in Himmerland Tee Times
Robert MacIntyre took a two-stroke first-round lead at the 2023 Made in HimmerLand with an impressive round of-6 64.
The Scot fired five birdies in seven holes on the back nine to reach six under par and surpass the early clubhouse leader Ross Fisher, who made 66 in the morning wind and rain on a tough day of scoring in Farsø in northern Denmark.
“It was really tough today. When I was sat in my room this morning, I was quite glad that I wasn't out there. It got a little bit nicer. Obviously, the breeze was really strong, but at least we didn't have any rain.
"It was just a mental battle out there and just had to stay positive. The dropped shots were going to happen and just had to take the chances when they came and thankfully I did that. Bit of luck here and there.
"I've been working hard on the my game the last three weeks, I've chopped and changed. There's been a lot of changes and I've kind of gone back to what I know I'm good at. I've stayed positive and I knew my game was there, just had to drive the ball a little bit better this week.
“Probably on 12 was my best moment when I hit the putt slightly too firm and it was right in the middle of the hole the whole way but I was just praying it didn't bump offline."
American Johannes Veerman produced a bogey-free round to share third place on three under with German Nick Bachem, a winner on this season’s DP World Tour at the Jonsson Workwear Open, and Dutchman Daan Huizing, a top-ten finisher at the recent BMW International Open.
Danish duo Rasmus Hojgaard and Lucas Bjerregaard were in the mix on home soil after rounds of 68. They were joined in sixth place by Frenchman Alexander Levy and Fisher’s compatriot Andy Sullivan.
edit **** Canada's Aaron Cockerill struggles continued again today T100 +4 74 in the worst of the wind. Only 14 players broke par. The cut falls at +2
Aaron out late on Friday will need a solid round to avoid a 4th straight cut.
