The World No.745 converted from 65 feet for birdie on the 13th and amazingly repeated the feat from the same distance on the 17th to take the outright lead in Sunday's final round at the Danish event.

Wilson, who had not recorded a top-10 finish on the DP World Tour since a tie for fourth in the same event in 2019, then held his nerve to par the last – hitting his drive off a small mound of turf instead of a tee – to finish a shot ahead of Scotland's Ewen Ferguson.

"It's kind of hit me now," an emotional Wilson told Sky Sports as he fought back tears after his closing 67.

"Give me a minute. I said I wasn't going to cry.

"Everything I've done to this point to rebuild my game, I knew I could do it. I was so calm there, I almost enjoyed the last hole. It's pretty special.

"I'm so proud of myself and I've got a great team around me. There's been some dark times and they've all stuck with me so this is for them as well.”

Wilson had started the final round in a four-way tie for the lead with Ross McGowan, Matthew Southgate and Francesco Laporta, but missed a number of good birdie chances as he covered his first 12 holes in one-under.

Ferguson, who was seeking a third win of the season, began the day two shots off the pace but made two birdies and an eagle on the front nine and enjoyed a two-shot lead when he also birdied the 14th.

Wilson halved the deficit with his first long birdie putt on the 13th and drew level from 14 feet on the 16th before converting from distance again on the 17th after Ferguson's 66 had set the clubhouse target on 20-under.

Norway's Kristian Krogh Johannessen carded a closing 65 to finish third on 18-under, with McGowan, Southgate, Laporta and Matthew Jordan another stroke back.

In a disappointing week for the Aussies in Europe, all five of our starters failed to make the weekend at the Himmerland Resort.
