Lynn’s Jack Yule produced his best performance of the season on the DP World Tour by finishing just outside the top 20 at the Danish Golf Championship.
The 31-year-old had already achieved his primary objective of making the weekend after rounds of 69 and 71 left him four-under-par and safely inside the cut line at the Great Northern course in Kerteminde.
Having opened with an impressive three-under-par 69 on Thursday, Yule followed up with a one-under-par 71 on Friday to secure only the second DP World Tour cut of his career and set himself up for a strong weekend challenge.

The King’s Lynn Golf Club member then continued his steady progress in Saturday’s third round with a one-under-par 70.
Yule picked up an early birdie on the opening hole before giving a shot back with a bogey at the third.
Another birdie at the fifth moved him back into red figures and he turned in 35 after seven pars in the remaining holes of the front nine.
On the back nine he mixed a bogey at the 10th with a birdie at the 16th to complete a round of 70 and move further up the leaderboard.
Yule rounded off the tournament with a level-par 71 on Sunday.
After a solid start featuring five pars in the opening six holes, a double-bogey six at the sixth briefly stalled his momentum and was followed by a bogey at the seventh.
The former Springwood High School pupil responded impressively on the back nine.
Birdies at the 10th, 12th and 16th holes helped him claw back the dropped shots to ensure he finished the week on a positive note.
His closing rounds of 70 and 71 saw him climb the standings and secure his highest finish of the year on the DP World Tour, finishing 21st overall amongst a strong international field.
The result continues a promising debut season at golf’s highest European level for Yule, who earned full playing privileges after successfully negotiating two stages of Qualifying School last year.
Earlier this season he celebrated another significant milestone by making his first DP World Tour cut at the Estrella Damm Catalunya Championship, where he eventually finished tied 64th.
His latest performance in Denmark represents another big step forward.
