Five-way tie for lead as play suspended in Denmark

Danish Golf Championship R2

Defending champion and local favourite Rasmus Højgaard was 1-over through 11 holes but still held a share of the lead when play was suspended overnight due to high winds at the Danish Golf Championship with Round 2 set to resume at 0800 on Saturday.

France’s Adrien Saddier closed with a 69 to move to the top of the leaderboard at 5-under.

“I quite like the test,” said the Frenchman. “You have to play with the conditions and forget the technical side of things. You try and shape the ball like you want to and just survive.”

Norway’s Kristoffer Reitan and Dane Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen both shot 66 for their share of the lead.

“It’s been fun. Great crowds, even when the weather hasn’t been that good – typical Danish summer,” said Neergaard-Petersen. “But it’s been awesome. Playing some solid golf. Thought today I started making some putts and I was able to make a lot more birdies and put together a good round.

“It’s such a test mentally. You’ve got to stay locked in pretty much for the whole round. There’s not really any holes where you can breathe and relax a bit.

“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.

“I felt like when I got going on my last nine holes today I was feeding off the crowd. Great energy out there once you make a couple of putts.”

Also tied for the lead and 1-under through 10 holes is France’s Frederic Lacroix.

England’s Brandon Robinson Thompson, Joe Dean and David Horsley all carded 70s for a share of sixth place at 4-under.
