- 3 years ago
Nicolai Hojgaard amazingly followed his twin brother Rasmus into the winner's circle with a triumph in the DS Automobiles Italian Open in Rome on Sunday.
Seven days after Rasmus won his third European Tour title with a birdie on the 72nd hole of the Omega European Masters, Nicolai also birdied the final hole to secure a maiden victory at Marco Simone Golf Club.
The 20-year-old hit a superb approach to the par-five 18th and holed from three feet to finish 13 under par, a shot ahead of England's Tommy Fleetwood and Poland'sAdrian Meronk.
Fleetwood had also birdied the last for a closing 71, with Meronk having earlier set the target on 12 under following a superb 66.
