The 25-year-old sealed his spot in three upcoming Majors with victory in Donegal

Jacob Skov Olesen etched his name into the history books at Ballyliffin as he became the first Danish golfer to win The Amateur Championship.

“It’s an honour, and I’m really proud to be the first Danish winner,” he said. “I guess that’s something I’ll have forever, which is super cool. I hope it can inspire someone else from Denmark to win next year or maybe some other years in the future.” Five down with five to play, and with defeat staring him in the face, Clemons kept the contest alive with a mighty birdie putt across the green on the 32nd. The 22-year-old’s hopes of pulling off a great escape suffered a terminal blow on the 33rd, though, when he had to take an unplayable lie after his drive buried itself in a tangle of rough.
