South African Brandon Stone: India's Shubhankar Sharma was almost sure to miss the cut after a round of 2-over-par 74 on the first day of the Danish Golf Championship.

Also struggling was Yuvraj Sandhu, whose even-par 72 included three birdies, a closing double and a bogey earlier on. He was T-75. Sharma had four birdies against six bogeys as his struggles in the season continued.

Frenchman Félix Mory matched the lowest round of his DP World Tour career and set a course record to lead after day one of the Danish Golf Championship.

The Frenchman posted a seven-under-par round of 65 at Great Northern to move one-shot clear of home favourite Lucas Bjerregaard and South African Brandon Stone.

The HotelPlanner Tour graduate has missed 12 of his 16 cuts so far this season, but after making three of his last five, his performance in round one in Denmark continues a trend that shows he is adjusting to life on the DP World Tour.

Italian pair Filippo Celli and Francesco Laporta share fourth place on five under par alongside China's Wenyi Ding, Finland’s Oliver Lindell and Germany's Freddy Schott.
