David Horsey secures Danish victory

David Horsey won the Made in Denmark tournament by two strokes yesterday despite a surge up the leaderboard from Sweden’s Kristoffer Broberg.

The Cheshire golfer, who took a one-shot lead into the final day, shot three bogeys and one birdie in his last round but despite being two over for the day, it was enough to claim the title.

Broberg climbed 50 places to finish in a tie for second with 11-under-par, firing nine birdies in his final round. It meant he carded 62 on Sunday but the Swede fell just short of overhauling Horsey, who clung on after a round of 73 left him 13 under.

Australia’s Daniel Gaunt and Terry Pilkadaris joined Broberg in the tie for second, along with home favourite Soren Kjeldsen. Scotland’s Paul Lawriefinished in a four-way tie for sixth on 10 under alongside Wales’ BradleyDredge, Denmark’s Mads Sogaard and Australia’s Richard Green.
