Wallace cooly birdied the 18th the third time in a row to pick up his fourth European Tour title at \u00a0Silkeborg Ry Golf Club after Brown could only make par. With the win, Wallace moves from 21st<\/sup> to 17th<\/sup> in the Race to Dubai Rankings with 1,451,639 points for the season.<\/p>\n \u201cMatt has gone from strength to strength since winning his European Tour card in 2017,\u201d said Nick Tarratt, Director European Tour International Dubai Office. \u201cIt\u2019s great to see the Challenge Tour producing elite players and Matt has certainly showed that with his third win of the season. If he continues this fine form he will be a real threat at his first DP World Tour Championship at Jumeriah Golf Estates.\u201d<\/p>\n Wallace, who claimed his second play-off win of the year after defeating Andrew Johnston at the Hero Indian Open, secured the win in front of Ryder Cup Captain Thomas Bj\u00f8rn at his home club.<\/p>\n \u201cI think I have given Thomas something to think about,\u201d said Wallace ahead of Bj\u00f8rn selecting his four wildcard selections on September 5. \u201cThat was the plan. I put myself under pressure, the last couple of days by saying I want to give him a headache.<\/p>\n \u201cI’ve stepped up to the mark and I’ve shown him exactly what I’m about. If he doesn’t pick me, then that’s absolutely fine. But I’ve shown him everything that I’m about, and if he doesn’t, then so be it, but if he does, he knows he’s going to get exactly that in his team.\u201d<\/p>\n Westwood, who held a one-stroke lead heading into the final round, looked set for his first win on the European Tour since 2014 but fell just short after he could only make par on the first play-off hole. The Ryder Cup Vice Captain is on the verge of confirming his place in the DP World Tour Championship after jumping from 55th<\/sup> to 43rd on 658,644 points.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, Thorbj\u00f8rn Olesen will make his debut at The Ryder Cup after Matthew Fitzpatrick and Eddie Pepperell failed to finish at the top of the leaderboard to gain the final automatic spot.<\/p>\n \u201cRelief is my first emotion, that’s for sure,\u201d said the Dane. \u201cIt’s been a tough week, a long\u00a0week. It’s been difficult but it’s been great to learn that different kind\u00a0of pressure. I think I handled it pretty well. There were a couple of things that could have been better, but it was a tough week and I feel pretty happy now.<\/p>\n \u201cTo make the team automatically probably makes it that little bit more special, but it’s nice to place yourself in the team, and being inside that top eight will probably make me feel a little bit more comfortable when I get to The Ryder Cup. I’m happy and I’m very proud of myself, the way I’ve done things this summer and I’ve handled myself.\u201d<\/p>\n The top three in the Race to Dubai remains unchanged with Italy\u2019s Francesco Molinari leading the way on 4,635,909 points, the USA\u2019s Patrick Reed in second place with 3,057,948 points and reigning Race to Dubai champion, England\u2019s Tommy Fleetwood, in third place with 2,805,042 points.<\/p>\n The DP World Tour Championship takes place at Jumeirah Golf Estates from Thursday 15 to Sunday 18 November.<\/p>\n England\u2019s Matt Wallace produced a magical final round at the Made in Denmark to pick up his third European Tour title of the season and move into the top 20 of the European Tour\u2019s Race to Dubai, after coming through a thrilling play-off with 2009 DP World Tour Championship winner Lee Westwood, Steven Brown, and […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8577,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8575","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8575","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8575"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8575\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8578,"href":"https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8575\/revisions\/8578"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8577"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8575"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8575"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8575"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.middleeastevents.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/B1-1.jpg\")
