Copenhagen (AFP) - Danish golfer Andreas Harto was heading for a missed cut at the Made in Denmark tournament Friday, but he was still celebrating after proposing to his girlfriend on the 16th green.

The 27-year-old made a birdie, then gestured to his stunned girlfriend who was watching from the sidelines and got down on one knee before plucking a jewellery box from his pocket.

The couple embraced on the green much to the delight of the packed gallery.
