Penge breaks home hearts for second victory

Marco Penge took advantage of Rasmus Højgaard's dramatic collapse to secure his second DP World Tour title at the Danish Golf Championship.

The Englishman has enjoyed a breakout 2025 campaign and he has not looked back since winning his maiden crown at the Hainan Classic in April.

However, even Penge would have been surprised at how he secured victory at Furesø Golf Klub, having been four shots behind the home favourite through six holes.

They were level at the turn following a dropped shot at the seventh and double bogey at the ninth from the Dane before Penge hit the front, only to drop his first shot of the day at the 16th hole to leave the door ajar for his 24-year-old rival.

A stunning approach into the 17th restored the World Number 97's two-stroke lead, which was wiped out by Højgaard's clutch eagle at the last.

Penge kept his cool to birdie from three feet to triumph with a 16 under par total.

"My main goal after I won was to not get complacent and drop off basically," he said. "My team have been a massive support for me, my family, everyone involved really. It's made me keep striving for more and this is amazing."

Record-setting Swing king

Penge also had two more reasons to celebrate following his victory in Copenhagen.

The win saw him clinch the Closing Swing title, while his opening 64 saw him take home the Course Record Presented by Nexo prize.

A share of second at the Genesis Scottish Open set him on his way in the Swing and he climbed the standings further with a top 30 finish at Trump International Golf Links in Aberdeenshire last time out.

That meant Penge needed a top four finish to take top spot in the standings, which has now earned him entry into all Back 9 events in addition to US$200,000 in prize money.

He also picked up another $10,000 after breaking the course record in Denmark courtesy of sponsor Nexo.

Penge, who sits second in the Race to Dubai Rankings, signed for his 64 during the opening day of the tournament after carding an eagle and five birdies to take the prize money.

Højgaard and Englishman Ben Schmidt also carded seven-under rounds, but missed out due to recording their scores on Friday and Saturday respectively.

Big birds send Højgaard flying

It may have been Rasmus challenging for the title but it was identical twin brother Nicolai who was pulling off million-to-one shots.

First he holed out from 111 yards at the par-four 12th and then at the 14th he did it again from 144 yards to make it two eagles in three holes.

The chances of doing that? One in 1,697,000.

Aces high

Why have one hole-in-one when you can have two?

On day two, Italy's Gregorio De Leo holed a seven-iron from 181 yards on the fifth and 24 hours later it was the turn of Mikael Lindberg with a 52-degree wedge at the 147-yard second.

They took our tally of aces for the season to 21.

Young fan beats the pros

There was a memorable moment for 11-year-old Alvin Vu Punnin in the Beat The Pro challenge on Saturday as the 23.6 handicapper hit his tee-shot on a par three closer than DP World Tour pros De Leo and Alfredo Garcia-Heredia.

What a shot!
