Thorbjorn Olesen wasn’t quite as hot in the final 18 (as he was in the two middle rounds) at the Turkish Airlines Open.
But he still shot a respectable 2-under to finish at -20, and good enough for a 3-stroke victory at the first event (of three) in the ‘Race To Dubai’ playoff series.

Haotong Li and David Horsey finished in a tie for second at 17-under, while Brend Wiesberger (-15) and George Coetzee (-14) rounded out the top 5.
It is the fourth European Tour win for the 26-year-old Dane. After his round Olesen spoke on what the win means to him.
