Made in Denmark 2016: Thursday Leaderboard Scores and Highlights

Tom Lewis, Joakim Lagergren and Thomas Pieters all got off to scorching starts at the Made in Denmark tournament on Thursday, setting course records of nine-under 62 at the Himmerland Golf and Spa Resort in Farso, Denmark, to grab a share of the lead.

The three all played nearly flawless rounds on a course that played very easy, and despite their record-setting pace, they only led by a single shot, as Bradley Dredge finished the day eight-under.

Here’s how things are shaping up in Denmark on Day 1 after a memorable day on the European Tour and a closer look at how the action panned out.

Lewis set a scintillating early pace in his round, motoring up the leaderboard with some extraordinary shot-making.

The Englishman began his round at the 10th, where he secured birdie. From there, confidence bristled in Lewis as he notched another six birdies before the turn and an opening nine holes played in just 28 shots.

As we can see, courtesy of the European Tour Twitter feed, his hot streak didn’t come to an end there either:
