Nicolai Hojgaard carded a 64 in a dramatic final round to win the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai on Sunday by two strokes and take home the winner’s cheque of $3 million, finishing second in the Race to Dubai.

The Dane finished 21-under-par overall, two strokes ahead of Viktor Hovland, Tommy Fleetwood and Matt Wallace, and will climb to a career-high 50th in the world rankings.

“It’s hard to put into words right now after what just happened, it feels amazing,” Hojgaard said.

Hojgaard had led after the first two days in Dubai, but entered the final round three shots off the lead, but managed to pull himself back up the leaderboard with a front nine score of 33.
