GOLF.GARARasmus Højgaard excited for latest shot at home glory as Great Northern debuts
Champion in 2023, the 25-year-old came close to winning the event for a second time last year as he lost out to England’s Marco Penge by one shot despite a closing eagle in a dramatic finale at Furesø Golf Klub.
While the layout then was tree-lined, narrow and short by Tour-level standards, new host venue Great Northern, which becomes the 466th venue on the DP World Tour this week, is a complete contrast.
Opened for play in 2017, the modern Nicklaus Design course has hosted an event on the ECCO Tour for the past five years and is striking for its elevation changes and seven lakes that result in water being in play on as many as nine holes.
Unlike many others in the field, Højgaard has played it before and the five-time DP World Tour winner is excited to see it exposed to some of the world’s best for what is the penultimate event of the Closing Swing on the Race to Dubai.
