DUBAI — Danish player Joachim B. Hansen hit a 4-under 68 to hold off co-overnight leader Francesco Laporta and a soaring Bernd Wiesberger by one stroke to win the Dubai Championship on Sunday.
Hansen had four birdies to finish at 23 under overall having opened with a 9-under 63 in the first round.
Hansen and the Italian Laporta are both outside the top 150 in the world and this was only the 170th-ranked Hansen's second European Tour win. The other was at the Joburg Open in November 2020.
On the final hole, Laporta pushed his second shot right of the green into some thick grass.
