David Horsey fires course record to lead in Denmark

Cheshire’s David Horsey shot a course record 63 to claim the first-round lead at the Made in Denmark tournament in Farso at Himmerland Golf & Spa Resort.

Horsey carded seven birdies and an eagle in his eight-under-par round at the Himmerland Golf and Spa Resort to lead by one from Welshman Oliver Farr.

Horsey made it to the top of the leaderboard with a sparkling 63, equalling the lowest nine holes on The European Tour this year by playing the back nine in 28 after starting on the 10th, and was threatening the first 59 in Tour history when he birdied the second to sit eight under with seven to play.
