MacIntyre leads by two after opening round in Denmark

Ross Fisher had to endure tougher conditions in the morning marked by wind and rain and posted 66. He is alone in second.

The Englishman birdied the 14th and 15th holes, dropped a shot at the 97-yard 16th but made an eight-foot putt at the next.

A three-way tie for third at 3 under included American Johannes Veerman, who went bogey-free, German Nick Bachem, a winner already this year, and Dutchman Daan Huizing, a top-10 finisher in Munich two weeks ago.

David Micheluzzi is the top Australian after a 1-over 71 while compatriot Jason Scrivener is a shot behind him.
