Denmark’s Niklas Norgaard Møller has claimed his first title on the DP World Tour, which is being held under the slogan “Race to Dubai”, after winning the “Betfred British Masters” Championship, as the countdown continues to the end of the season for the tour hosted by the Emirates in Abu Dhabi and Dubai respectively next November.
The Danish player excelled in the tournament, achieving a score of 16 strokes under par, which led him to advance 30 steps in one go, to become sixth in the world rankings of the “Race to Dubai” from Rolex, with a total score of 1610 points.
The 32-year-old had to wait 83 DP World Tour tournaments to end his title drought, but winning the Pac-9 series title put him firmly in the race for the overall season title.
South African Threston Lawrence finished second in the Betfred British Masters, with a score of 14 under par, to move up to second in the Rolex Race to Dubai rankings this season, with a total of 2,119 points, and close in on Northern Irishman Rory McIlroy, the leader of the rankings and the title holder, who has 3,236 points.
