WIESBERGER WINS IN DENMARK

Austria’s Bernd Wiesberger withstood a strong challenge from Scotland’s Robert MacIntyre to clinch a one-shot victory at the Made in Denmark at Himmerland Golf & Country Club.

The leading pair were locked together on 14 under par with three holes remaining, before Wiesberger birdied the 16th and MacIntyre went out of bounds with a wayward tee shot on the penultimate hole. The 33-year-old Austrian’s two-shot lead up the last looked in danger when he drove into a hazard, but MacIntyre was unable to make the birdie he needed to force extra holes as Wiesberger scrambled a bogey-five to claim his fifth European Tour title, and his first since returning to competitive golf following seven months on the sidelines last year with a wrist injury.

After recording his first victory since the Shenzhen International over two years ago, Wiesberger said: “I didn’t expect it all, I had such a rough year last year. Winning is never easy, and I was thinking about what was going on in the last year. I had so many great people helping me and getting me back to where I am right now, and I’m proud to pay it back that way.”

Frenchman Romain Langasque took third place on his own on 11 under, while there was a five-way tie for fourth between Chris Paisley, Paul Dunne, Oliver Wilson, Pablo Larrazabal and Max Schmitt. Defending Made in Denmark champion Matt Wallace finished tied 41st on two-under par.
