There were celebrations all round for Bernd Wiesberger in successfully defending the Made in HimmerLand title in Denmark.
Wiesberger, 35, won with ease by five shots in posting a closing round 64 for a 21-under par tally but under continuing preferred-lie conditions.
The win is also Wiesberger’s eighth European Tour triumph will see him go back inside the top-50 on the World Rankings and is comes in a week when he father celebrated his 60th birthday on Friday while his mother turned, ‘I’m not allowed to say’ said Wiesberger smiling, on the final day of the Danish tournament.

Italy’s 24-year-old sensation Guido Migliozzin was runner-up for second event running in posting a closing 63 to finish on 16-under par and one clear of the trio of the England pair of Richard Bland (66) and Jordan Smith (76) and Australia’s Jason Scrivener (66).
Bland’s effort keeps him at the top of a three-event, US Open mini money list, that will conclude next Monday week at the June 7th concluding Porsche European Open in Germany with Migliozzi second in line for a US Open tee time and now Wiesberger third.
The top-10 otherwise not exempt into the US Open will travel to Torrey Pines for the June 17th commencing third major of the year.
Though the main story in Denmark was Wiesberger who also led from start-to-finish.
“I really like it here, playing here is good for my confidence especially after a couple of tougher weeks so it’s a special place for me,” he said.
“I played really good golf. It brings out the best in me, I got it going when I needed to so it was really enjoyable.
“It’s an awesome week obviously, I wasn’t really coming in on my best form missing the cut last week and not really performing to what I would like to. It was definitely a week where I felt like a chance to find something again and that’s what happened.
“I played steady golf, I had a really good mindset out there all week and it’s really enjoyable to put the foot down on the back nine and make a couple of birdies, it felt really nice. It’s just an enjoyable golf course for me and it feels like I can really score well and I think that got me over the line this week.
“That’s ultimately what we all want to do so if you’re comfortable with it I think you’ve got a chance to bring your best golf.
“I was very calm, I had a good talk with my caddie on Friday about what wasn’t so good the last couple of weeks and it was just push forward and be positive and decisive – that was our goal regardless of the outcome. Just commit to the shots – I wasn’t perfect out there but I got away with a few things and scrambled well and dug in there and that was all I wanted to do and even better when it worked out that way”.
And in being handed the silver bowl trophy, Wiesberger said smiling: “If I win this three times next year, I get to keep the trophy, okay?”
