Africa-Press<\/a> – Mauritius<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Rasmus H\u00f8jgaard shot a 7-under 63 to win the European Masters on Sunday by one stroke from Bernd Wiesberger, who made double bogey at the 18th after hitting into green-side water.<\/p>\n

Wiesberger, who is on the fringes of selection for Europe\u2019s Ryder Cup team next month, hit his tee shot at the par-4 18th into a bunker then found water with his second shot.<\/p>\n

The Austrian player took a six and carded a 65 to fall into second place in the tournament at the high-altitude Crans-sur-Sierre club. READ: Patrick Cantlay outlasts Bryson DeChambeau, wins BMW Championship in playoff<\/p>\n

The 20-year-old H\u00f8jgaard\u2019s late charge had left him leading in the clubhouse on a 13-under total of 267 that held up for his third victory on the European Tour.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the moment it\u2019s a bit surreal. I didn\u2019t expect to be in this position but it\u2019s amazing,” he said.<\/p>\n

H\u00f8jgaard\u2019s round of five birdies and one eagle-3 on the 14th included playing the last six holes in 5-under par. He made a mid-range birdie putt at the 18th that proved decisive.<\/p>\n

Henrik Stenson also shot a clean round of 63, with seven birdies in the sun-bathed Swiss Alps to move up to third place at 11 under. READ: Phil Mickelson blasts USGA over proposed driver length limit<\/p>\n

Playing in the final group, morning co-leaders Sean Crocker (70) and Renato Paratore (71) finished in ties for fourth and seventh, respectively, after starting at 10 under.<\/p>\n

H\u00f8jgaard now has a victory in each of his three years as a professional. He won the Mauritius Open in December 2019 and the UK Championship exactly one year ago.<\/p>\n

The winner’s check was for 333,333 euros ($393,000) from a 2 million euros ($2.36 million) prize fund at the tournament which was cancelled in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s so nice to have the crowds back to cheer you on,” H\u00f8jgaard said, acknowledging feeling nervous standing over the winning putt.<\/p>\n
