He started the day five shots behind Dane Rasmus Højgaard who had led through the first three rounds. The Italian started his round with five pars before making a run of five consecutive birdies from the 6th then four more in the back nine to equal the course record.
“It was one of those days that I love to play golf. I love to battle on the golf course and today I received something back from golf. It was a beautiful day of golf.
“I was trying to be more comfortable on the course and at the start of the weekend I was 13 shots back but yesterday Rasmus missed the second hole and it almost opened the door again and I just kept playing great.”

This is Migliozzi’s third DP World Tour title, the first two were at the 2019 Magical Kenya Open and at the Belgian Knockout three months later.
His goal now is to qualify for next year’s Ryder Cup at Marco Simone Golf and Country Club.
“I felt I was close last year to get into the team and I ended up not very good,” said the Italian.
“But it’s a new start, from Wentworth points were open and it’s been a great start and I’m looking forward to continuing my good golf and the Ryder Cup in Rome for me would be a dream.”
Højgaard finished second at 15-under after closing with a 68.
France’s Paul Barjon tied for third at 11-under with Belgium’s Thomas Pieters (70) and South Africa’s George Coetzee (71).
