Richard Sterne bookended his week in the DP World Tour’s Danish Golf Championship at Fureso Golf Klub in Copenhagen, Denmark, with a closing two-under-par 69 on Sunday.

After opening with a 69 in the first round, he had rounds of 71 and 71 on Friday and Saturday, before an eagle-three on the third hole helped him finish the week on two-under in a share of 29th.

Sterne was 14 strokes off the winning total of 16-under, set by Marco Penge of England. Penge closed with a four-under 67 to move to 16-under and a one-stroke edge over Rasmus Hojgaard, whose two-under 69 was not enough to pull off a home victory for the Dane.

The Englishman capitalised on Hojgaard’s mid-round collapse as the Dane surrendered a four-shot lead from the sixth hole. Penge engineered a two-shot lead going down the last, only for Hojgaard to drain an eagle putt to draw level at 15-under before the the 27-year-old nervelessly holed his birdie effort to clinch victory.

Robin Williams had a closing one-under 70 to finish in a share of 38th on level-par. Thomas Aiken was on two-over in a share of 47th after his final round of three-over 74, while Zander Lombard had an ordinary week, despite making the cut, and his closing 73 saw him finish in a share of 64th on nine-over.
