Scotland's Marc Warren won his third European Tour title on Sunday when he clinched Made in Denmark by two shots from Welsh veteran Bradley Dredge.
Warren hit five birdies in a final round of 68 for a total of 275 and nine under.
He was pushed all the way by Dredge, who went round in 70 for seven under overall while England's Phillip Archer was third, five shots off Warren.
"I felt the last couple of years I've been close to winning a couple of times but for whatever reason it hasn't quite happened for me, whether I've made mistakes or someone else has played really well," said Warren. "This summer I feel more confident than I've ever done. Today I kept telling myself I was swinging the club really well and I was confident in what I was doing."
Dredge, the halfway leader, was left looking for his first title in six years.
"In a way there are mixed feelings in that if someone said they'd give me second at the beginning of the week it is a great result, considering I've not had a chance to win in a long time. But it was a chance to win a tournament," he said.
First day leader Thomas Bjørn of Denmark shot 69 on Sunday to finish in a three-way tie for fourth with Eddie Pepperell and Oliver Fisher at six shots back. Thorbjørn Olesen and Lasse Jensen finished one shot behind their countryman Bjørn, earning the two Danes a tie for seventh.
The European Tour event was held at Himmerlands Golf & Spa outside of Aalborg.
