Grant Forrest started the day with a three-shot lead at the Nexo Championship and fired three birdies, one bogey and one double bogey at the par-5 18th for a 72 to stay at 8-under and win by four shots.

This is the Scot’s second DP World Tour title following his win at the 2021 Hero Open at Fairmont St Andrews.

With this win, Grant moves to the top of the Closing Swing rankings with only one event, next week’s Danish Golf Championship, to play.

“It’s amazing, just speechless,” said Forrest. “I think it is the same week as I won four years ago on the calendar so just amazing, that must say something about this week and being at home.

“It was a tough day out there today, didn’t play my best stuff at all but made a lot of good par saves on the front nine. Obviously I was pretty nervous coming down the last there – there was no chance that tee shot was going right with the red stakes.

“I just can’t believe it. It’s been such a tough year on the golf course. It’s just a crazy game that you can go and come out and do this, with what feels out of nowhere.

“It certainly has [turned my season around]. I was way down the rankings a couple of months ago, tried to play a bit better but at this stage of the season, I was right on the bubble.

“It’s just that old chestnut that one week can turn things around and it has.”

Forrest also won the $10,000 bonus on offer from sponsor Nexo for setting the course record of 66 on Friday.

England’s Joe Dean finished second at 4-under with a final-round 71 featuring three birdies and two bogeys.

Norway’s Kritoffer Reitan made two bogeys and closed with a 74 for a share of third place at 3-under alongside Denmark’s Jacob Skov Olesen whose 72 comprised of three birdies and three bogeys, as well as England’s John Parry who made four birdies and two bogeys) for a 70.
