GolfSixes 2017: Denmark Defeats Australia in Final of Inaugural Tournament

Denmark won the inaugural 2017 GolfSixes tournament after defeating Australia, 3-1, in the final at the Centurion Club in St Albans, England.

Thorbjorn Olesen and Lucas Bjerregaard claimed the trophy after beating Scott Hend and Sam Brazel in front of an excited crowd.

Denmark had finished second in Group A on Saturday, but wins against France and Italy had driven them to the showpiece final in the £1 million event.

Scotland prevailed in the third-place decider, beating Italy 2-1 in a nearest-to-the-pin contest on the playoff hole.
