EUROPEAN TOUR COMMUNICATIONS

Julian Suri, pictured with the championship trophy by courtesy of Getty Images(c), claimed his maiden European Tour title after seeing off the challenge of David Horsey in a thrilling final round at the Made in Denmark tournament today.

American Suri produced a flawless 64 to finish the week on 19 under par and secure his first victory in just his seventh European Tour event.

Horsey, who was one stroke adrift of playing partner Suri as they stood at the 18th tee, finished four shots back in second after carding a disappointing triple bogey at the last.

Suri, who won the D+D REAL Czech Challenge in May, becomes the third American to win on the European Tour and Challenge Tour, following in the footsteps of Brooks Koepka and Peter Uihlein.

Englishmen Ben Evans, Steve Webster and Chris Paisley were in a tie for third on 13 under par.

Suri, who began the day two shots behind overnight leader Horsey, picked up an early birdie at the second after sending his tee-shot to within three feet of the pin.

The 26 year old then took the outright lead when he curled in from six feet for a birdie at the third before picking up another shot at the fourth to make it three birdies in a row.

And after holing his birdie putt at the seventh, Suri knocked in his six-foot birdie putt at the eighth to move to 17 under.

With Suri reeling off five straight pars from the ninth, Horsey joined him at the summit on 17 under after making back-to-back gains at the 11th and 12th.

And the pair holed similar birdie putts from around 12 feet at the 14th to get to 18 under.

Suri then rolled in a  putt from around 15 feet at the next to open up a one-shot lead.

And after safely finding the fairway with his tee-shot at the last, Suri carded a par at the last to lift the trophy.
