Made in HimmerLand - Day three digest

MacIntyre and Ramsay led a Scottish challenge as Elvira joked about their weather.

Here is everything you need to know from Moving Day in Denmark.

Joy for 'Jocks'

Scottish players occupied three of the top five places on the leaderboard as they warm up in style for next week’s Genesis Scottish Open. Robert MacIntyre was 12 under par, one off Nacho Elvira’s lead, with Richie Ramsay a further shot back and Marc Warren sharing fourth place on nine under with Dutchman Daan Huizing. Ramsay said: “Jocks on Tour are doing quite well. I’ve said it for the last few months that we always seem to have one Saltire on the top of the leaderboard and that’s good for me because there’s that friendly rivalry, you want to see everybody do well but you want to push each other on as well. We’ve got a lot of good, young players who are capable of winning tournaments. There’s no reason why one of us can’t win this week and then next week, it’s a bit of a Major for us so we’ve got one eye on next week as well.”

Fun in the sun for Nacho

A bright and calm day in northern Denmark made for favourable scoring conditions for the second successive day, with leader Elvira summing up the contrast to Thursday’s wet and windy first round. “It’s like you’re playing Scotland and the next day you’re playing Marbella,” the Spaniard quipped in a mid-round interview, adding: “The first day was hell.”

He’s electric

Ross Fisher had an unusual experience at the ninth hole after his tee-shot struck an overhead electrical cable. Under The R&A’s Local Rule E-11 he was forced to play the shot again but, undeterred, split both the wires and the fairway – though he went on to make bogey after also needing two attempts to hack out from the greenside rough.

Hunting the hole on HimmerLand Hill

The signature 16th hole HimmerLand Hill has tested the players this year but also produced its share of highlights. There have been 66 birdies compared to 82 over-par scores, with no player yet adding to the tally of holes in one seen on the Hill over the years. Mateusz Gradecki gave himself every chance, rolling down to within inches of the hole with this effort:

Deja vu for Elvira

Elvira sparked his second-round 62 by hitting his approach at the first to within nine inches of the flag, setting up a tap-in birdie before adding five more in a row from the third. On Saturday he surpassed himself, with his opening putt recorded as five inches after this magnificent iron shot.

Zanotti makes his move

Fabrizio Zanotti took Moving Day at its most literal, the Paraguayan vaulting himself up the leaderboard with a 62 containing 10 birdies including this one on the Hill.
