Thorbjorn Olesen reigned supreme at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship on Sunday, as he held his nerve to pip American duo Brooks Koepka and Chris Stroud and land his third European Tour trophy.
The Dane came into the final round with a three-shot lead over Florian Fritsch at the top of the tree after taming St Andrews’ famous Old Course in 65 blows on Saturday, and it was a lead he never surrendered.

Olesen Keeps Cool to Land Links Crown
Despite Olesen’s healthy advantage heading into Sunday’s play, pressure looked to be getting the better of the Dane in the early exchanges.
