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 when he chip‑in for an eagle from over a bunker to tie Winther at Great Northern Golf Club. Winther immediately answered with an eagle on the 16th, driving onto the green of the 304‑yard par‑four and putting for a birdie. He finished the round with a five‑under‑par 67, taking a two‑shot clubhouse lead over China's Yanhan Zhou.

Zhou needed a hole‑in‑one on the par‑three 18th to force a playoff, but three‑putted for a bogey. Winther’s three‑shot victory marked only the second time a Dane has won the home event, the first being 15 years after his work as a greenskeeper. The 38‑year‑old said the win came “just after my kids’ birth” and that the crowds had “clapped off on every single green.” The victory also came after a dramatic 31‑ft eagle putt on the 16th, the moment he felt a chance to overtake Zhou and Højgaard.
