DP World Tour: Marco Penge wins Danish Golf Championship after Rasmus Hojgaard’s collapse
Rasmus Hojgaard had opened up an early four-shot lead before seeing his final round dramatically unravel; watch the Betfred British Masters live on Sky Sports from Thursday in what is the final qualifying event for the European Ryder Cup team
Marco Penge capitalised on Rasmus Hojgaard’s remarkable mid-round collapse to clinch his second DP World Tour title at the Danish Golf Championship.
Hojgaard looked set to breeze to his second victory in this event in three years when he opened up a four-shot lead by the sixth hole.
However Penge, who birdied the third and eighth, was in a share of the lead after the Dane dropped a shot at the seventh and double bogeyed at the ninth.
The Englishman moved ahead when Hojgaard bogeyed the 10th and extended his lead to two with a brilliant birdie at the 13th.
Penge left the door ajar with his only bogey of the day at the 16th, but instantly responded with a birdie at the penultimate hole to restore his two-shot advantage at 15 under.
Hojgaard piled on the pressure with a clutch eagle at the par-five last to draw level, but Penge kept his cool to drain his birdie putt and triumph at Fureso Golf Klub.
“I’ve been playing so well this year,” Penge said. “Coming back from my time off, to have won so soon [after that] and to achieve what I’ve achieved since I won.
“My main goal after I won was to not get complacent and drop off basically. My team have been a massive support for me, my family, everyone involved really.
“It’s made me keep striving for more and this is amazing. And Rasmus, he’s some player, to hit the shot he hit into the last and make eagle and basically make me have to win it was unbelievable.”
Ben Schmidt, who hails from Rotherham, parred the 72nd hole to earn solo third at 12 under following a final-round 68.
Penge had two more reasons to celebrate in Copenhagen after his success saw him top the Closing Swing rankings, earning $200,000 [£148,000] and entry to the final nine events of the DP World Tour campaign, in addition to claiming the $10,000 [£7,400] on offer for setting the course round of 64 during his first round.

Djokovic learns fate in new home as Sabalenka addresses behaviour
Express Sport brings you the latest tennis news from the Paris Masters.
We’re reaching the business end of the Paris Masters, as eight players become four in the French capital. Jannik Sinner is the overwhelming favourite to lift the trophy after Carlos Alcaraz was dumped out by Cameron Norrie in the Spaniard’s opening match. Norrie was then beaten by Valentin Vacherot, whose amazing 10-match winning streak at Masters 1000 level came to an end when he lost to Felix Auger-Aliassime.
Canadian star Auger-Aliassime will face Alexander Bublik in the semis. Bublik defeated Alex de Minaur, who is among those to have already qualified for the year-end ATP Finals. Sinner is through to his first Paris Masters semi-final after beating Ben Shelton. He’ll face defending champion Alexander Zverev, who survived a tough match against Daniil Medvedev.
Novak Djokovic is not involved in the Paris Masters, having decided to skip the event for the second year in a row, but he has learned his fate in the draw of next week’s ATP 250 in Athens. And over in Riyadh, the WTA Finals are about to get underway.
