As it was mentioned in the previews, the appearance of European Tour players in the PGA event is less notorious that in the previous tournaments. The Scandinavian were equally unlucky and neither one of them four made the cut last weekend at the RMS Classic. However, they have one last opportunity to make up for it next weekend at the Hero World Challenge, hosted by Tiger Woods.

European Tour: DP World Tour Championship

It’s a wrap! The European Tour celebrated the Race to Dubai Grand Final at the georgeous golf course of Jumeirah Golf Estates – Earth Course, in Dubai. This time, only the Top 50 of the Race to Dubai Rankings competed at the Final.

Alexander Björk (T2)

The Swedishman Alexander Björk finished T2, while Collin Morikawa made history becoming the first American to win the European Tour’s season-long contest. Björk was in a good possible winning position coming into the last day. However, the fourth round didn’t go with his will. The Swedish golfer missed some putts that placed him 3 shots behind the leader at the end.

Nicolai Hojgaard (T4) & Joachim B. Hansen (T9)

Next from Denmark on the leaderboard was Nicolai Hojgaard. With rounds of (68-71-69-67), Hojgaard finished T4, only 4 shots from the leader. After a second round of 1-under par, the Danish golfer caught up the pace and played some good consistent golf during the last two days. His mate, Joachim Hansen finished with a round of even-par, a little harmful to his final position, but that’s golf. What matters the most is that both of the Danish golfers are playing some solid golf, and now it is time to reconnect and set the new goals for next season.
