The 32-year-old was now pumped and, following a pin-point drive on the 18th, his approach safely found the green. It now left Olesen as the only one who could catch Soderberg and, following his two best shots of the day at the 17th, he had a chance to share the lead. Rolling end-over-end, it found the centre of the cup for a one shot win and his first since the 2018 Italian Open. Throughout the day though, many players seemed to have moments of brilliance and moments of questionable shots. Throughout all of Sunday, Olesen couldn't hit a golf shot for 16 holes, with the 32-year-old four-over-par for the day as he reached the par 5 17th.

The Danish golfer went eagle-birdie on Saturday and Sunday for a one-shot win, his first on the DP World Tour in nearly four years.

The Danish golfer's previous win was at the Italian Open in June 2018. He was suspended by the European tour the following year after being accused of sexually assaulting a woman and being intoxicated on a flight following a World Golf Championships event in Tennessee.

Understandably emotional only eight months after being cleared of wrongdoing after alleged incidents on a flight from the U.S. to London saw him end up in a court of law, Olesen was close to tears more than once. Later, after being doused in champagne on the 18th green by the his compatriots, the identical Hojgaard twins, Rasmus and Nicolai, Olesen had a little more to add. The Englishman’s 71 was two shots too many. He loves a crowd.” But obviously when I got the chance on 17, I took it. Even with all the emotions I had in my head today.” And now I know I can still do it. Indeed, amongst the eventually unavailing list of challengers, only Scotland’s Connor Syme finished with anything that could be construed as forward momentum. “I have so much emotions,” he said. As much as 35 feet away for birdie after his approach to the three-tiered green, Olesen—what else?—rolled it in again. Leader since day one, the Dane was four over par for the day, seven underfor the tournament and two shots adrift of Sebastian Soderberg. A 28-foot putt for eagle on the par-5 17th disappeared into the cup, leaving the former Ryder Cup player needing a birdie on the 497-yard par-4 18th to claim his sixth DP World Tour title.
