The European Tour stops at Aarhus this weekend for the Made in Denmark event, as Thomas Bjorn notably goes back home to play at Silkeborg Ry Golf Club. Previously the event took place at Himmerland Golf and Spa Resort but for the first time ever, this year it is being held at Silkeborg Ry GC.
Made in Denmark odds
The first round has already started and Josh Geary and Jonathan Thomson have taken an early lead so far (after 12 holes), both on seven under. Sam Horsfield finished the first round with five under whilst Ashley Chester finished three under. Lucas Bjerregaard was going strong with five under after 13 holes.
Betting odds for Made in Denmark:
Going into the competition, Thomas Pieters was favourite to win, with Lucas Bjerregaard, Matthew Fitzpatrick, Eddie Pepperell and Sam Horsfield all in the mix.
Ryder Cup chances
Thorbjorn Olesen was struggling early on, with two over at 13 holes played. He requires a place in the top six to make it into the Ryder Cup team, so he will need to improve his play to manage that.
Matthew Fitzpatrick and Eddie Pepperell are the other two players that will be hoping they can boost their Ryder Cup chances with a good result at Silkeborg. Both players are due to tee off shortly.
Made in Denmark odds
Wiltshire players tee off together
Made in Denmark is the perfect opportunity for some of the lower ranked golfers to make a name for themselves. Players like Wiltshire’s David Howell and Laurie Canter will be hoping that they can do their home county proud as they tee off together today, along with South Africa’s Christiaan Bezuidenhout. Howell tied 36th at the Czech Masters last weekend and will be hoping he can build on that over the weekend.
