Højgaard held the overnight lead and started well with an eagle at the par-5 3rd but a triple bogey at the par-3 9th followed by bogey at the 12th saw it vanish. He recovered with an eagle at the par-4 13th and three birdies to reach 24-under.

“It’s very sweet. It’s been such a tough grind today. Got off to a good start and then I struggled quite a bit.

“I had to dig deep out there and the turning point was obviously on 13 where I saw Jordan Smith had made a run and was two up when I was on the green at 13, and I stepped up with a clutch finish so I’m really happy.

“I’m quite excited for the future now. I’m not really thinking about it, but obviously when you’re playing good you start looking at all the Rankings. I’m motivated to keep going and get better and hopefully quality for the big tournaments.”
