Olesen, with an amazing eagle-birdie finish, won the British Masters

The incredible final tournament came to life this Sunday at the prestigious The Belfry, in Sutton Coldfield, is very close to Birmingham. the dane Thorbjorn Olesenwho started the final day with a wide lead, to complicate his tournament options on the first fifteen holes, woke up on time and had an eagle on 17 and a birdie on 18 (same as the day before), for a 73 (+ 1), and a final sum of 278 (-10), take British Masters, from the DP World Tourwhich is your sixth victory on the European Circuit.

Olesen’s fourth run, 32, is hard to explain. He started out as a great favorite for the title thanks to a three shot advantage where he started with German Hurly Long and Englishman Marcus Armitage, whom he immediately chased, but he started to seem like ‘throwing the tournament’. And it was that his first 15 holes saw five bogeys for a birdie; with it, far from the first positions and surpassed by some rivals.

Among those who took advantage of Olsen’s bad chance was the Swede sebastian soderberg, which started the day six steps away from Dane. So, since Soderberg is already at the Club House, with 68 (-4) bringing him to a 279 (-9) that puts him on top alone, and Ramsay is facing 18th hole a shot from the Swede, Olesen seems to have lost any chance of winning, even second place, as he roams at the end of the 16th two strokes behind the then leader, but largely leaves bad feelings.

But, first, Ramsay punched a bogey on the 18th that sent him a card with 71, for an accumulated 280 (-8). Soderberg sighed and looked like he had won. But Olesen’s unexpected awakening came, signing the Eagle on the 17th, which he also did on Saturday, and stood with a total of -9, with one hole left. He is the equivalent of a Swede who is in training in the training field because if there is a tiebreaker.

Shady relationship but free of charge

All indications are that the tournament will go to tiebreaker. On the 18th Olesen left a very long putt, about 9 meters long and with an almost impossible fall for the birdie. But he caught the ball, hit it and it fell weakly into the pot. Incredible end of the lap for Dane. He woke up on time, and Soderberg, who saw himself as the winner or, at least, playing a tiebreaker, didn’t believe it.

Four years after the last title, Olesen achieved his sixth victory on the European Tour (now called the DP World Tour). A player who in 2019 fell into an arrest on suspicion of an alleged sexual assault, who was suspended for it from the Circuit pending the resolution of the case, and who by the end of 2021 was dismissed- he was convicted by a court in London in all cases.

As for the Spaniards, a bad ending to adri arnaus78 strokes and placed 48th in the end, lost a place in the Race to Dubai (now he is 7th) and the best was Santi Tarrio, 21st.
