Made In HimmerLand betting tips: Short layout suits Olesen

Preview and odds for this week’s European Tour event

The European Tour returns to Denmark this week for the Made In HimmerLand.

Bernd Wiesberger will defend his title in Farso after pipping Scotland’s Robert MacIntyre by a single shot in 2019.

The Austrian missed the cut at last week’s US PGA Championship, although HimmerLand’s 6,751-yard layout will offer a very different test to the brutal challenge at Kiawah Island last week.

However, the 35-year-old is without a top-30 finish since January – a run of nine events.

Another player to have made the trip from South Carolina to Scandinavia is MacIntyre, who has had two top-10s in his last five starts and has now made the cut in his first six career majors after finishing 49th on Sunday.

The 11/1 favourite is third on the European Tour for greens in regulation, so MacIntyre is likely to feature prominently in plenty of Made In HimmerLand betting tips.

Olesen looks to shine on home soil

Denmark’s Thorbjorn Olesen was one of golf’s most impressive rising stars when he won a fifth European Tour title in Italy three years ago and then impressed on his Ryder Cup debut.

He has since dropped out of the world’s top 300 but there have been signs of the 31-year-old returning to form, with the 25/1 chance finishing fifth and 12th on his first two starts of the season in the Canary Islands recently.

With accuracy and putting likely to be important over a short par-71 layout, Olesen also features prominently in several key statistic categories.
