Nicolai Hojgaard wins Ras al Khaimah Championship for second DP World Tour title

Denmark's Nicolai Hojgaard held his nerve to win his second DP World Tour title at the Ras al Khaimah Championship in United Arab Emirates on Sunday.

The 20-year-old had led by three shots overnight, but a mid-round wobble on Sunday left him trailing Jordan Smith by two on the back nine after a double-bogey and bogey in the space of four holes.

A great recovery from the Dane saw him bounce back with a birdie and eagle before closing out the victory with two birdies.

Hojgaard's final round of 68 gave him a 24-under-par total for the tournament, four shots clear of England's Jordan Smith who closed with a 66.
