Thorbjorn Olesen clinched the Betfred British Masters title with an incredible 35-foot putt on the 18th hole at The Belfry. The Dane finished in spectacular fashion to take home his first European Tour title since the 2018 Italian Masters.
Olesen took a three-shot lead into the final day’s play, but a difficult Sunday eroded his advantage. Olesen trailed by two going into the final two holes, with former European Masters champion Sebastian Soderberg breathing down his neck.
Olesen fired back with a 30-foot eagle at the 17th, before his theatrics to take home the prize on the final hole. Soderberg could only par the 18th, after a poor tee shot left him with work to do. It was a quite brilliant comeback from Olesen, and an exhilarating finish to proceedings at the iconic Belfry.
Scotland’s Richie Ramsay finished joint-third with Justin Walters and countryman Connor Syme. Tournament host Danny Willett finished tied for 16th place, ending his Masters with a one-under 71.
Attention now turns to the PGA Championship, which kicks off in Tulsa, Oklahoma at the famous Southern Hills Country Club on 19th May.
Thorbjorn Olesen wins The British Masters 2022 🎉
