David Horsey moves three-shots clear at the Made In Denmark
Sunday 23 August 2015 00:58, UK
David Horsey fired a four-under 67 to extend his advantage at the top of the leaderboard after the second round of the Made In Denmark.
The Englishman followed up yesterday's course record 63 with another solid round at Himmerland Golf & Spa Resort to move three shots clear of nearest challenger John Parry at the halfway stage.
As one of the later starters, Horsey found himself two shots adrift of early pacesetter Parry but quickly moved back in to top spot with two birdies from the opening four holes.
A blemish at the fifth was followed an eagle at the par-five next, before the world No 274 responded to back-to-back bogeys around the turn by posting three gains over the back nine.
"I played nicely to start, but made that bogey on five and then another couple of silly mistakes really in the middle," Horsey told Sky Sports 4.
"I made an unbelievably flop shot on nine and managed to get that up and down, but the three-putt on 10 was disappointing. Really solid coming in through and I could probably have been a shot or two better.
"I just need to keep playing how I'm playing, concentrate on myself and then hopefully give myself a chance to win come Sunday afternoon."

Parry briefly held the outright lead when consecutive gains at the fifth and sixth moved him six under for the round, but dropped shots at the short seventh and par-four ninth sees him head in to the weekend in a tie for second with Australia's Richard Green.
A mixed day for home favourite Soren Kjeldsen saw the Dane close an up-and-down 71 and join Paul Lawrie in the group on five under, with defending champion Marc Warren a further stroke adrift.
However the story of the day came at the 16th green, where Denmark's Andreas Harto proposed to his girlfriend in front of a packed crowd after holing his birdie putt.
