Made in Denmark 2016 Tournament

[Scotsclaff]

The Euro tour goes to Himmerland Golf and Spa resort in Denmark this week.

Last time for the golfers to impress Darren Clarke for a spot in the Ryder cup team.

Martin Kaymer will go out with vice captain Thomas Bjorn,while Lowery and Kjeldsen goes out with another vice captain Paul Lawrie.Thomas Pieters plays with the captain himself Clarke. Good move Darren.

Westwood not playing this week,he may have got the call already???

The most esoteric golf tournament name ever...

[Scotsclaff]

Esoteric-Intended for or likely to be understood by a small number of people with specialized knowledge or interest.

 

How can you be so narrow and mean?

Is it more of a links style course? I've come close to going to Denmark when I was in Germany. I've heard it is lovely.

Tom Lewis 12 under through 13, needs to par in for 59, but has a 470 yard par 5 coming up!

Beautifully jinxed, bogey, par the par 5, par, bogey, 10 under thru' 17.

[Wally Fairway]

And with his bogey on 18 he goes from looking at a sub-60 round to "only" shooting a 62 and being in a 3-way tie for the lead after the first round.
Just shows how good the field is - their are 4 guys at the top of the leaderboard who all birdied (or better) at least 1/2 the holes today.

It would be the most popular resort in the entire world!

The Danish fans having some fun with Darren Clarke at the 16th hole yesterday.The last pic was the 16th on the final day last year.

Bradley Dredge from Wales is in the lead at -13 shooting a 66 to compliment his 63 on Thurs.Pieters keeps up the good work and his Ryder cup hopes with a level par 71 and stays at -9.

Darren Clarke misses the cut but Paul Lawrie shoots a 66 and makes the cut at -6.

There are 2 Danes in the hunt,both on -7,Soren Kjeldsen and Jeff Winther,this should keep the crowds pouring in.

I thought you'd know that

Dredge keeps the lead by one on -12.

Pieters is only 1 behind him and I wouldn't bet against him winning this thing.It would be hard for Darren Clarke not to pick him if he does win.

Kaymar is having a good tournament only 4 behind,Knoxy in America is way behind at +5.

I think Westwood Kaymar and Pieters are favourites for the wild cards at the moment.

[Scotsclaff]

They're calling it Himmerland Hill,the Magical 16th.

[Scotsclaff]

Pieters wins with a birdie,birdie,birdie finish,a 65,-17.

It will be very hard for Clarke not to pick him now.

Sometimes you just get beat.

eh?

 

Such a pity that thunderstorm came thru and held up play for 3 hours,a lot of the fans went home.

I watched Pieters on every hole,his driving is incredible and once he perfects his short game....lookout!

He is 6ft 5ins AND HE'S GONNA SCARE THE SHITE OUT OF THE AMERICANS AT HAZELTINE.

Dredge lost to a guy who finished birdie, birdie, birdie. That's all. He didn't lose the tournament; he was just beat.
