Horsey kept his momentum going by matching Olesen's birdie at the 12th, before sinking another birdie, this one on the 15th. He managed to close the gap, but Olesen still led by three with as many holes left to play.

Both players slipped to bogeys on the 16th, so Olesen still kept his lead. He sunk this par at the 17th to put himself on the brink of the title:

Olesen duly wrapped things up after Horsey and Haotong could only manage pars at the 18th. Then it was the Dane's turn to sink another par putt to seal the win.
