DANE PUTS ON MASTERCLASS

THORBJORN Olesen won the British Masters in thrilling style as the Dane produced an eagle and birdie finish at The Belfry on the final day.

Olesen held a three-shot lead going into the final round, but the former European Ryder Cup winner sat at four over par after struggling through the first 16 holes.

With Sebastian Soderberg in the clubhouse on nineunder, Olesen needed to play the last two holes in two under just to force a playoff.

However, the 32-year-old didn’t have to worry about a playoff as he holed from

28 feet for an eagle on the par-five 17th, then rolled in from 35 feet on the last hole to take the title by one shot.

“It’s a privilege to have my name on the trophy,” he said.
