Oliver Wilson holed two enormous birdie putts on the back nine on Sunday to win the Made in HimmerLand by one shot and claim his second DP World Tour title almost eight years after winning his first.
Ewen Ferguson had looked on course to secure his third victory of the season after shooting a closing 66 to set the clubhouse target at 20 under par.
But Wilson, playing in the final group, finished with a flourish in Farsø, holing from 66 feet at the 13th, 14 feet on the 16th and 64 feet at the 17th to leapfrog the Scot and take a one-shot lead to the 18th tee.
He safely parred the last to sign for a 67, finish the tournament on 21 under par and return to the winner’s circle for the first time since the 2014 Alfred Dunhill Links Championship.
Wilson came into the week searching for his first top-10 finish on the DP World Tour since the 2019 edition of this event, when he came joint-fourth.
Ferguson finished alone in second on 20 under, two shots ahead of Norway’s Kristian Krogh Johannessen in solo third.
South African Justin Walters was tied eighth after a final-round 70 saw him end on 16 under.
Fighting back tears in his post-round interview, Wilson said: “I was so confident. I knew I could get the job done. Everything I’ve done to this point to rebuild my game, I knew I could do it.
“And I was so in control, and I said I wasn’t going to cry!
“I was so calm there. I almost enjoyed the last hole.
“It’s pretty special. I’m so proud of myself. I feel like there’s a lot ahead of me and I’m so pleased to get win No 2.
“I love this place. I’ve done well here before.
“My game has been trending in the right direction. There’s been a lot of good stuff this year, I just haven’t been able to put it all together.
“I guess 18 years’ experience gets you to hang in there. And to get over the line, it feels good. It feels so good.”
