Lynn’s Jack Yule secured his place for the weekend at the Danish Golf Open after carding a one-under-par 71 on Friday to finish inside the 36-hole cut line at Kerteminde.
Yule opened the tournament on Thursday with an impressive three-under-par 69, with four birdies and just one bogey.
He made a steady start on the impressive Great Northern course, recording birdies on the fourth, fifth and sixth holes before turning in 33.

On the back nine he added another birdie at the 11th and remained mistake-free until the 17th, where a bogey briefly interrupted his momentum.
Today’s second round was a more eventful affair. Yule started steadily with pars on the opening six holes before back-to-back bogeys at the seventh and eighth dropped him over par for the day.
But the former Springwood High School pupil responded brilliantly on the back nine.
A birdie at the 10th got him back on track, and another birdie at the 12th moved him into red figures. Further gains on the 17th and a solid par finish completed a one-under-par 71.
The Danish Golf Championship is part of the DP World Tour, Denmark’s premier professional golf event.
Developed in 2016 and opened for play in July 2017, the Great Northern course was purpose-built for championship golf and this week marked the biggest platform on the international stage with the DP World Tour coming to town.
Yule’s two-day total leaves him tied for 39th place at four under, seven shots behind overall leaders Cameron Adam and Antoine Rozner, both on 11 under.
The 31-year-old celebrated a major milestone in his professional career by making his first cut on the tour at the Estrella Damm Catalunya Championship earlier this year, where he eventually finished tied-64th (T64) with a four-round score of 287 (-1).
The King’s Lynn Golf Club member earned his full playing privileges after successfully coming through two stages of Qualifying School in quick succession last year.
