Jeff Winther has "Danish Delight", wins his National Championship..Final Results

 DP World Tour: Danish Golf Championship


Jeff Winther delighted fans by securing victory at his home event after a roller coaster final round of the 2026 Danish Golf Championship.

Winther wonderland! Jeff Winther wins on home soil at Danish Golf Championship



There were eight players who had at least a share of the lead during a chaotic Sunday at Great Northern, but it was the 38-year-old who came out on top to claim his second DP World Tour crown.

Winther started four shots adrift at the start of his final round, but boosted his chances with birdies at the fourth and fifth before dropping shots at the sixth and eighth to derail his title bid.

A brace of birdies from the ninth saw him surge back into contention before rejoining the lead at -13 with a gain at the 13th. He briefly led on his own before Rasmus Højgaard's late burst saw him sit alongside his fellow Dane at the summit.

But Winther's eagle putt from 31 feet at the 16th was enough to seal a three-shot victory at -15 in Kerteminde.

When asked if he ever thought his name would be etched on to the trophy when he was a greenkeeper 15 years ago, Winther said: "No! I was never going to be a golfer so this is just insane. I don't know what to say, I'm in shock!

"It's just a joke really, I'm sad we're not coming back here next year.

"It's impossible to rank, just after my kids' birth I think. It's amazing and I don't think it's sunk in yet, but I'm overly happy."

He added: "I feel a lot of love from the crowds and all the Danes support all the Danes, besides all the other players, but especially the Danes you can feel the love shining through.

"The crowds carried me all week, it's been unbelievable."

Overnight leader Romain Langasque got off to a poor start, bogeying each of the first three holes to surrender his advantage to Yanhan Zhou.

Zhou birdied the first and soon had a two-shot lead at -14 following Langasque early collapse, which the Chinese star maintained despite a bogey at the third.

Caleb Surratt and Matthew Jordan both birdied the fifth and when Winther made it successive gains at the same hole, there was a four-way tie for the lead at -12 .

Antoine Rozner bounced back from bogeys at the second and third with birdies at the fourth and fifth to increase the leadership group to five.

The home crowd were in raptures when Winther, who had also bogeyed the eighth, carded his third birdie in five holes at the 13th to join Zhou at the top.

A bogey at the 14th from Zhou gifted Winther the outright lead, but another Dane was on the charge.

Rasmus Højgaard, who began the day five shots adrift, had mixed three birdies and three bogeys on his first 12 holes before a brilliant burst to finish his round.

He birdied the 15th and 16th before chipping in for eagle at the penultimate hole to sit alongside his compatriot at -13 

But just two minutes later, Winther responded with an eagle of his own from 31 feet at the 16th to jump up to -15 under.

Højgaard bogeyed the last to finish on -12, but Winther's advantage with only the difficult par-three 18th to play was two after Jordan birdied the 17th.

Winther safely found the green and two-putted for par, which put him on the cusp of victory.

Zhou needed to ace the last to force a play-off, but came short with his effort as Winther became the second Danish winner of this event.

Celli, Højgaard and Oliver Lindell, who signed for a 68, along with Zhou and Jordan after they bogeyed the last finished in a share of second -12.

Denmark's Marcus Helligkilde and Langasque were one shot back at -11, while another Dane, Jacob Skov Olesen, finished in a T9 alongside Freddy Schott, Joel Girrbach and Ewen Ferguson -10

Sunday at St Jude Championship : Will Canadians make the top 50 ? ...Full scoreboard, FedEx standings...

    PGA Tour : FedEx St. Jude Championship Leaderboard  Tee Times

Canadians

Darsh

All need a great Sunday to continue their FedEx Cup seasons today with that cut at #50.

T19 Nick Taylor -4 69 68 69  #60

T46 Sudarshan Yellamaraju +1 70 65 76  #59

T51 Corey Conners +2  71 71 70  #60

Scott Scheffler scrambled to -2 68 on Moving day to take a two shot lead at 68 61 68 -13 into the weekend as he tries to prevent another runner up finish, since he last won in February at the American Express.

What I believe will make it easier than the lead, is playing with one of his buddies Sam Burns T2 67 70 62 -11. It should be like playing $100 Nassau at home for the pair who are bonded by their Christian beliefs.

Sungae Im 66 66 67 -11 is not to be forgotten, he has been solid for most of this season and is on the bubble at #53 as added incentive. 

We'll see who makes the most putts on this TPC Southwind course where the heat in Memphis has been brutal all week.

The rest of the pack begins at -8 and remember the bigger story today in who makes the top 50 to advance to next week in St Louis.

Frenchman leads in Denmark...54 hole results

     DP World Tour: Danish Golf Championship : Entry List  Tee Times

Romain Langasque carded a brilliant 67 to earn a one-shot third-round lead after capitalising on fellow Frenchman Antoine Rozner's mistake at the last in the 2026 Danish Golf Championship.

Langasque-2290579995

The Frenchman began the day two shots adrift of overnight leaders Rozner and Cameron Adam and despite starting his third round at Great Northern with a bogey, he bounced back with six birdies to climb up to -14 for the tournament.

Rozner shared the lead as he reached the par-three 18th, but he found the water with his tee-shot and closed with a double bogey to slip into 3rd place.

Langasque's closest rival was 18-year-old Chinese star Yanhan Zhou, who also registered a 65, to sit at -13 on a congested leaderboard in Kerteminde.

Langasque is aiming to secure his second DP World Tour title of his career, almost six years since his ISPS HANDA Wales Open success at Celtic Manor.

"I mean, it's a super round," the 31-year-old said. "Obviously the three-putt on the first was not the right start, but I tried to not be focused on what happened and to try to just be myself, playing every shot after shot.

"I think I did a super job today, especially on the tough holes on the back nine. I made some birdies where I didn't expect them, so it was very good.

"I haven't been in that situation for a long time now, so it's good to be back in that position and let's see what I can do tomorrow.

"I don't expect anything of myself. I will go as a warrior and I will fight until the last shot."

Langasque parred his way home to set the clubhouse target at -14 with Zhou parring the last as the pair carded superb five-under 67s for -13

Rozner's back nine had yielded one birdie and seven pars, but he found the water with his tee-shot and eventually dropped behind his Chinese rival to sit in 3rd -12

American Surratt and Jordan both signed for 70s on Saturday to sit one shot further back at -11, while Jeff Winther became Denmark's leading player at -10 6th. 

Home favourite Rasmus Højgaard was joined by Stone and Scottish pair Adam and Ewen Ferguson in a tie for 7th at -9

The last time Scott Scheffler won a PGA Tour event was at the start of this season, on the corporate Pro-Am, American Express.

Scottie Scheffler-2226186909

He has been beaten into 2nd place 5 times since however, and has posted top 11 top 10's, but no majors this year, strange stats for the world #1.

After an ordinary opening -2 68, he got off to a great start on Friday with 5 straight birdies, on his way to -9 61 tying the course record on TPC Southwind.

His lead is -11, Sungjae Im T2 66 -8 with Viktor Hovland 64, while Swedish sensation Ludvig Aberg 4th 65 -7

Danish delight as course records fall at Great Northern...36 hole results

    DP World Tour: Danish Golf Championship : Entry List  Tee Times

Cameron Adam and Antoine Rozner both fired course records on day two of the Danish Golf Championship to share the lead heading into the weekend at Great Northern.

Frenchman Félix Mory had set the mark with a 65 on in round one but countryman Rozner bettered that on Friday with a 64 to set the target at -11.

Records tumble as Cameron Adam and Antoine Rozner share halfway lead in Denmark

It looked for a long time like the three-time DP World Tour winner would lead alone after 36 holes but Scot Adam had other ideas, birdieing the treacherous last to lower the mark once again with a 63 and join him at the summit at -11

Another Scot in Ewen Ferguson was one back -10 after a 65, a shot clear of Julian Perico 66  who became the first Peruvian to make the cut in a DP World Tour event, England's Matthew Jordan 67, Frenchman Romain Langasque 66, South African Brandon Stone 69 and American Caleb Surratt 66 all at -9.

Adam earned his place on Tour through last year's Global Amateur Pathway Rankings but has registered just one top ten in Kenya so far to sit 125th on the Race to Dubai Rankings.

With his starts likely to be limited on the Back 9, he needs to rack up some precious points this week and on home soil at the Nexo Championship and he is certainly going the right way about it, carding nine unanswered birdies in a round that will win him $US30,000 courtesy of Nexo should it not be lowered by Sunday.

"It's the best round of my professional career so far," he said. "I've just got to build off it and go and have a strong weekend.

"I'm excited. It's going to be different and a first experience for me on tour but I've got to embrace it and go and see what happens."

Rozner's 64 was his lowest round of a season that has seen him claim three top tens but miss his last two cuts.

"I just played good golf and holed a lot of putts as well," he said.

"I think I took really good advantage of the low wind early on in the day and just played very good.

Ferguson was bogey-free in his round, a feat also achieved by Langasque who carded a 66.

Perico and Surratt also went round in 66, with Jordan carding a 67, two shots fewer than Stone.

Two-time Masters champion Bubba Watson 68 and Chinese teenager Yanhan Zhou 67 were then at -8, a shot clear of former champion and local hero Rasmus Højgaard 67 Italian Filippo Celli 70, England's Todd Clements 68 and German Freddy Schott 70 all -7

Frenchman Mory sets course record, Denmark's Bjerregaard in contention, 18 hole results

    DP World Tour: Danish Golf Championship : Entry List  Tee Times

Félix Mory matched the lowest round of his DP World Tour career to take a one-shot lead after day one of the Danish Golf Championship.

Félix Mory leads as Lucas Bjerregaard thrills local fans in Denmark

The Frenchman overcame consecutive bogeys on the back nine by going birdie-eagle on the 16th and 17th to card a course-record 65 and hit the front on -7

Local hero Lucas Bjerregaard 66 -6 was a shot back alongside South African Brandon Stone 66, one clear of Italian pair Filippo Celli and Francesco Laporta both had -5 67's, as did China's Wenyi Ding, Finn Oliver Lindell and Germany's Freddy Schott.  

HotelPlanner Tour graduate Mory is starting in just his 22nd DP World Tour event and his 65 matches his third-round score from his last start at the ISCO Championship.

The 31-year-old has missed 12 of his 16 cuts so far this season but after making three of his last five, his performance in round one at Great Northern continues a trend that shows he is getting used to Tour life.

"I didn't think it was going to take me so much to adapt to this new tour because I'd played a few years on HotelPlanner Tour and I didn't think it was going to be so different.

"It's more like the vibe is different. The golf is the same, the courses of course are a bit more difficult and test my game a little more

"I struggled a bit with caddies at the start of the year but now I'm pretty confident with who is on my bag. Clubs as well, I had to do a few changes but now I'm getting the rhythm and trying to enjoy it as much as possible."

Starting on the tenth, Bjerregaard got up and down on the 11th and hit pinpoint irons into the 12th, 13th and 16th to quickly move up the leaderboard.

An eagle from six feet on the next had him within one and while he three-putted the 18th, he hit a smart approach into the first and took advantage of the fourth to share the lead.

Missed chances from inside six feet on the fifth and seventh were then compounded by a bogey on the eighth but the two-time DP World Tour winner, who currently only has limited status on Tour, was left to reflect on a good day's work.

"It was a great round," he said. "I drove it really nice, hit some good iron shots, made every putt inside ten feet on my front nine.

"I didn't really know what to expect, I hadn't played for a while. I was a bit nervous about today but it turned out alright. The crowd has always been great to me, especially the last few years. I've had so much support like I did today so I'm looking forward to more of that."

SUMMARY

Earlier, Stone had mixed four birdies with two bogeys before he birdied the 15th and 16th and also eagled the last, crediting an old putter for his upturn in form.

Ding was bogey-free in his 67, while Celli eagled the 17th with a single dropped shot and Laporta carded six birdies and one bogey.

Schott overcame a double in his round, while Lindell went one better, overcoming a triple after finding water twice on the 14th.

There was then a group of eight players on -4 including Major winner Bubba Watson, reigning Volvo China Open champion Bernd Wiesberger and winner of this event in 2015 David Horsey.
