Calum Fyfe is hoping that he can go one better this time around when he tees it up at the Danish Golf Challenge at Odense Eventyr Golf this week.
The Scot took a three-shot lead into the final round 12 months ago at Bogense Golf Club, but a closing 71 saw him finish on 18 under par and one back of eventual winner and home favourite, Jonathan Gøth-Rasmussen.
And although it was a tough finish for Fyfe, he has fond memories of the event.
“It was a great week last year,” he said. “Denmark is very similar to Scotland with the weather and the grass, so it’s a feel-good type of place. I feel like I can play well and hopefully I can do the same as last year.
“It was a position I hadn’t been in before on this tour, but now that I’ve had a couple of chances to win, I’m definitely in a better position to get the win.
“Hopefully I can keep playing well and find myself in that position more often and I’m sure it will come soon.”
Fyfe comes into the week in good form. He sits ninth in the Road to Mallorca Rankings, with two top five and two top 20 finishes this season. Since the mid-season break in April, the 28-year-old has finished in a tie for fourth in Italy, shooting eighteen under par, and 14th in Spain at sixteen under.
“The last few weeks have been really good,” he added. “Anytime I feel like I’ve played well I’ve been in contention which is a good sign.
“Every week is the same, it’s a new week to go and do your best, and try and win the tournament which is what I’m here to try and do.”
This week in particular means a bit more than most to Fyfe – the 2025 Danish Golf Challenge was the first event he played following the passing of his mother, which is something he continues to cope with.
“Those feelings are always there,” the Scot said.
“But I just feel like I’ve got someone looking down on me who’s helping me a little bit. Hopefully she can kick the ball in the hole for me.”
The opening round of the Danish Golf Challenge gets under way at 7:30am local time on Thursday with Fyfe teeing off at 1:15pm alongside American Jhared Hack and Hamish Brown from Denmark.
