Danish Golf Championship: Winther pips fellow dane Højgaard in thrilling finish

Jeff Winther ended a four-year wait to claim his second DP World Tour title on Sunday at the Danish Golf Championship, pipping compatriot Rasmus Højgaard in a thrilling finish.

Højgaard had been two shots behind the leader heading into the 17th hole, but sensationally chipped in for eagle from over a bunker to tie Winther.

His stay at the top of the leaderboard was short-lived, with Winther immediately responding on the 16th with an eagle of his own, putting out after landing his drive on the green of the 304-yard par four.

The 38-year-old made par on the 17th and 18th to end his final round with a five-under-par 67, and took a two-shot clubhouse lead over China's Yanhan Zhou.

Zhou needed a hole-in-one on the par-three 18th hole to force a play-off with the Dane, but when he three-putted to make a bogey on the last, Winther's three-shot victory at his home event was officially confirmed.
