Denmark’s Nicolai Højgaard has won the DP World Tour Championship after producing a blistering finish in Dubai, a victory that he described as the “sweetest” of his career so far.
Despite Rory McIlroy already being named Race to Dubai champion before the week began, it proved to be a thrilling back nine on the Earth Course, with Højgaard (64), who was two shots behind with six to play, reeling off five birdies in the final six holes.
