Intro:

Thomas Bjorn returns to the scene of his first professional title on Thursday (14 August) as the Himmerland Golf & Spa Resort hosts the inaugural Made in Denmark, the first European Tour event in the country for 11 years. It is a course that local golfer Lucas Bjerregard knows well.

SOUNDBITE: (English) Thomas Bjorn:

"Yeah, they have done a fantastic job to actually come out and be able to say we have a European Tour event outside of Britain that has sold out - it's very rare, so it's going to be a good experience and it's going to be interesting to see the amount of people here. There has been a buzz and an excitement about this event for a long time in this country and people have been very supportive and, for us as players, that's a great thing. I think sometimes when you are out in the world you tend to focus more on the negative than the positive, and to come home and get this positive vibe about golf - and not just about what we do but about golf in general - is brilliant. So it's nice to come home and get those feelings through your body that it's a very popular sport in this country, there's a lot of kids interested in it, and it's an exciting week for Danish golf."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Lucas Bjerregard (local golfer and world No 273):

"Yeah, well I practise out here pretty much every day when I am home. The facilities, well, it doesn't get better than that. It's always a little windy here so I'm used to that, so the course will be a good test in this wind. The rough is up and the greens are pretty fast so with this wind it's going to be a great test for all the players."
