Marco Penge birdies 18 to win Danish Golf Championship

COPENHAGEN -- English golfer Marco Penge tapped in for birdie at the 18th hole to win the Danish Golf Championship on Sunday by a stroke from Rasmus Højgaard, who missed a chance to climb into the automatic qualifying positions for Europe's Ryder Cup team.

Hojgaard looked on course for the title in his home country when he powered into a four-shot lead midway through his front nine, only to drop four strokes in four holes from No. 10 and allow Penge to take the lead.

Penge walked down the par-5 18th with a two-shot cushion over Højgaard in the final pairing but saw his partner roll in an eagle putt from 10 feet to the delight of the crowd at Furesø Golf Klub in Copenhagen.
