DID YOU KNOW - MADE IN DENMARK
• The first edition of the Made in Denmark, played in 2014 was the first time the European Tour had played an event in Denmark since 2003, when Ian Poulter won the Nordic Open at Simon’s Golf Club.
• David Horsey will be looking to defend a European Tour title for the first time. The last time an Englishman successfully won the same event in back-to-back years was Luke Donald (2011-2012 BMW PGA Championship).
• When Horsey won 12 months ago he became the third wire-to-wire winner of the 2015 season, to lead with no ties in any round.
• After winning the 2015 Made in Denmark leading from start to finish, Horsey had now won his two most recent European Tour triumphs in this fashion, following the 2014 M2M Russian Open.
• Prior to the Made in Denmark’s first staging in 2014, the Himmerland Golf & Spa Resort was used for European competition in 1998. It was the Navison Open Golf Championship on the European Challenge Tour, played between 1994-1998.
• Thomas Bjørn was the leading Danish player in the 2014 Made in Denmark, finishing tied fourth. Other Danish players in the top ten were, Lasse Jensen and Thorbjørn Olesen, both tying for seventh. In 2015 the highest placed home player was Søren Kjeldsen, who tied second.
• For the first time the Made in Denmark will be the final counting event for qualification for Europe’s 2016 Ryder Cup Team.
