Thorbjorn Olesen proud to claim Turkish Airlines Open success

Thorbjorn Olesen admits he was relieved to see his poor run of form on the European Tour come to an end with victory at the Turkish Airlines Open.

Olesen saw his seven-shot overnight advantage briefly cut to one stroke after a final round charge from David Horsey, but dug deep to post a two-under 69 and claim his fourth European Tour title.

The Dane came to Antalya without a top-25 finish since June and off the back of seven missed cuts in his previous nine European Tour starts, with victory his first success since last year's Alfred Dunhill Links Championship.

"It means a lot, as the last three or four months have been pretty poor and I haven't played well," Olesen told Sky Sports. "All of a sudden I'm in contention and leading by quite a big margin, which is difficult when you haven't been playing well.

"I knew the guys were able to shoot a low number today so I knew I had to go out and see if I could make a few birdies.

congrats big brother
