Danish duo hang on for World Cup of Golf win

Soren Kjeldsen and Thorbjorn Olesen have combined to win a first-ever golf World Cup for Denmark with a four-shot triumph at Kingston Heath.

The pair started the day four shots clear of Americans ickie Fowler and Jimmy Walker and were able to hang tough on Sunday as several other teams challenged hard.

Their lead was trimmed to a single shot early on the back nine, but the Danes were more than equal to the challenge with six birdies on the back nine, including one on the final hole from Olesen.

Kjeldsen and Olesen closed with a six-under 66 in the best-ball format on Sunday for a four-round total of 268.
