Nicolai Hojgaard closed the DP World Tour Championship on Sunday with a superb 64, giving him the clubhouse lead with only two groups still on the Earth Course, and pulled his cap down over his face in disgust.
Bent double, he rested his hands on his knees, straightened then shook his head, and made a beeline for the scorer’s hut where he continued to beat himself up.
Hojgaard, who began the final round of the season-ending event three off the lead, had missed a short putt on the 18th, halting his birdie blitz on the Earth Course at five on the bounce.
The 8-under par hoisted him to a 21-under par total, but with Tommy Fleetwood one shot back on the hole behind and with the par-5 closer to come, Hojgaard steeled himself for a play-off.
