Jeff Winther wins Danish Golf Championship over Rasmus Højgaard

"

Jeff Winther captured his national tournament in thrilling style by shooting 5-under 67 to win the Danish Golf Championship on Sunday, outlasting a bunch of rivals that included compatriot Rasmus Hojgaard. The two Danes delivered an amazing few minutes for the home fans late in the final round at Great Northern, with Hojgaard chipping in for eagle at No. 17 to briefly join Winther in a share of the lead — only for Winther to respond by draining an eagle putt on the par-4 16th, where he'd driven the green, to go two shots clear again. The 38-year-old Winther parred the 17th and was given a standing ovation as he walked to the green on No. 18, where he also made par to seal his second title on the European tour — five years after winning the Mallorca Open.
