DP World Tour : Danish Golf Championship Leaderboard
Defending champion Rasmus Højgaard was clinging on to a share of the lead when the second round of the weather-affected 2024 Danish Golf Championship was suspended at Lübker Golf Resort on Friday evening.
Højgaard began the day with a two-shot advantage at the top of the leaderboard and stretched his lead to three strokes following back-to-back birdies on the front nine.
But as heavy rain and strong winds battered the course throughout Friday afternoon, things unravelled for home favourite Højgaard, with three bogeys in four holes from the eighth dropping him to -5 and into a five-way share of the lead.
And Højgaard will have work to do to avoid slipping further down the leaderboard when play resumes at 08:00 local time on Saturday, as he faced a 20-foot par putt on the 12th green when the hooter sounded due to high winds at 16:57.
Fellow Dane Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen 66, Norway's Kristoffer Reitan 66 and Frenchman Adrien Saddier 69, were safely in the clubhouse on -5, with France's Frederic LaCroix the other co-leader after ten holes of his second round.
Romain Langasque and Andrew Wilson were one shot off the lead at the start of their back nines, while five others were already in the clubhouse on four under.
"It’s been fun. Great crowds, even when the weather hasn’t been that good – typical Danish summer. On pretty much any hole out here with these conditions, there’s a big number out there. You’ve got to stay locked in and stay true to the game plan and accept there will be some shots that may catch a gust and end up in a spot where you don’t want to be, you’ve just got to deal with it.
edit ...It wasn't a good week for Canadian Aaron Cockerill 74 74 +6 with the cut projected at +1 he seems sure to MC in his last 4 outings.
