Day Four report

Wiesberger carded a closing 66 at Himmerland Golf & Spa Resort to finish 14 under par, a shot ahead of playing partner MacIntyre, who narrowly missed a birdie putt on the 18th to force a play-off.

France's Romain Langasque finished two shots further back in third, with Chris Paisley, Oliver Wilson, Paul Dunne, Pablo Larrazabal and Max Schmitt sharing fourth place on nine under.

Wiesberger held a two-shot lead after holing his approach to the par-five 11th from 66 yards for an eagle but bogeyed the 13th as MacIntyre made birdie to get back on level terms.

Both players birdied the short 14th before Wiesberger edged back in front with another on the 16th. On the 17th MacIntyre drove out of bounds.

After the left-hander superbly salvaged a bogey, Wiesberger gave him renewed hope by driving into a water hazard on the 18th.

But the Austrian was able to scramble a five and MacIntyre had to settle for his second consecutive runner-up finish.

Wiesberger, who missed seven months of last season after undergoing wrist surgery, told Sky Sports: "(I'm) speechless. I'm so thankful to so many people who have been there for me last year.

"I had so many great people helping me get back to where I am right now and I'm proud to pay it back this way. It's been such a great week, I enjoyed myself so much and loved the way I started playing."

Day Three report

Scotland's Robert MacIntyre fired an excellent 68 in windy conditions to head into the final round of the Made in Denmark just one shot off the lead in Farso.

The 22-year-old moved to eight under thanks to five birdies on day three but will need to get past four-time European Tour winner Bernd Wiesberger if he is to claim a first title on a top-tier tour.

MacIntyre finished second at the British Masters two weeks ago to ease any tensions about retaining his playing privileges and is now focused on claiming a second victory as a professional in just his 15th European Tour event.

"It's something that I've always wanted to do - win on the European Tour," he told europeantour.com.

"Now that I've secured my card for next season, it gives me the freedom that there's nothing to lose so I've just got to get out there and try and get it."

Playing alongside Wiesberger, MacIntyre sandwiched a bogey on the third with birdies on the second and fifth as his more experienced playing partner picked up shots on the first, fifth, seventh and eighth.

Bogeys on the ninth and 10th saw Wiesberger slip back but he made a hat-trick of gains from the 12th to establish a three-shot lead.

MacIntyre birdied the 11th and bogeyed the 12th before further gains on the 14th and 15th had him within two, and a closing bogey from Wiesberger meant it was all to play for in the final round.

Austrian Matthias Schwab and German Max Schmitt were at seven under, a shot clear of England's Oliver Wilson, Frenchman Romain Langasque and Spaniard Pablo Larrazabal.

Day Two report

Strong winds and heavy bursts of rain made scoring difficult on day two at Himmerland Golf & Spa Resort, but Matthias Schwab carded a superb, bogey-free 66 to finish eight under par, a shot ahead of Spain's Alejandro Canizares and France's Romain Langasque.

Scotland's Robert MacIntyre, who was joint second in the British Masters a fortnight ago, is two shots further back alongside Alvaro Quiros and Bernd Wiesberger, with Ireland's Paul Dunne part of a four-strong group on four under.

Schwab, 24, said: "I'm feeling good, I'm happy about how the day went and a little bit happy that it's over too because, especially early on, it was very difficult and not much fun to be out there with rain and wind and very cold.

"In the end it turned out to be a good day. I usually play okay on courses which are tougher than average on Tour so that suits my game well.

"I guess I'm a good wind player too, really I'm just trying to do my own thing and see what comes out."

Dunne is seeking a first European Tour title since winning the British Masters in 2017 and offered an honest assessment when asked if another victory was on the cards.

Defending champion Matt Wallace, who finished joint third in the US PGA Championship last week, fell six shots off the pace after struggling to a 73, while Welshman Bradley Dredge had to withdraw due to a pre-existing heart condition.

Dredge had shot 76 in the first round but was two under for 11 holes on Friday before pulling out as a precaution.

Day One report

Defending champion Matt Wallace is just one shot off the lead after the first round of the Made In Denmark, despite feeling "jaded" by his recent exploits.

Wallace finished second in the British Masters a fortnight ago and within a few hours was on his way to New York for the US PGA Championship at Bethpage, where he finished in a tie for third behind Brooks Koepka and Dustin Johnson.

The 29-year-old Londoner had no time to celebrate his best result in a major championship as he flew straight to Denmark to defend the third European Tour title he won in 2018, but showed no ill effects with an opening 67 at Himmerland Golf & Spa Resort.

"Three different ways of playing but all three we've had a lot of wind so getting out there relatively early was nice, to get four birdies on my front nine to start the tournament was good," Wallace said.

"I'm a little bit jaded so might take this afternoon off but we're in good shape."

Less than four years ago Wallace was finishing fifth in a tournament on the Alps Tour to climb to 1,672 in the world rankings, but the following year won six times on the same circuit and has recorded four European Tour victories in the last two seasons.

His performance at Bethpage lifted him to a career-high 25th in the world rankings and Wallace added: "It's going in the right direction. I'm working hard for it, it's not like it's just come randomly.

"There's more bits that I want to work on, there's bits I want to improve at. There's a long way to go for the rest of the year and I haven't won yet so it's important to me to try and get that and try and do that this week."

Five players shared the lead on five under par, the English trio of Paul Waring, Matthew Southgate and Tom Murray, Spain's Alejandro Canizares and Italy's Edoardo Molinari all carding rounds of 66.

Scotland's Robert MacIntyre, who finished runner-up at the British Masters alongside Wallace, also lies a shot off the lead after a 67.
