Oliver Wilson secured a first DP World Tour title since 2014 with a brilliant one-shot victory at the Made in HimmerLand in Denmark.

The former Ryder Cup player carded a bogey-free 67 at the Himmerland Golf and Spa Resort, holing a 65-foot birdie putt on the penultimate hole to end the week on 21 under and a shot clear of Ewen Ferguson.

Wilson started in a share of the lead but opened with a run of seven straight pars, with the Englishman following a two-putt birdie at the eighth by holing from long range at the par-four 13th.

A 15-foot birdie at the 16th and monster birdie at the next lifted Wilson top of the leaderboard, with a two-putt par at the last enough for a first victory since the 2014 Alfred Dunhill Links Championship.

"It's kind of hit me now," an emotional Wilson said. "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.

Get in there @Oliver_Wilson what a brilliant performance! Love to see it 💪🏼 — Eddie Pepperell (@PepperellEddie) September 4, 2022

"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. I've been pulling from everywhere I can to try and figure this game out and I don't think I'm there yet, but I feel like there is a lot ahead of me. I'm so pleased to get win number two."

Ferguson holed a 30-foot birdie putt at the third and took advantage of the par-five fifth before moving into a share of the lead when a brilliant approach into the par-five eighth set up a 10-foot eagle.
