India's SSP Chawrasia played his best round on the European Tour since November 2017 as he carded a bogey-free six-under 65 to rise to Tied-18th at the end of the Made in Denmark, presented by FREJA.

Chawrasia, winner of four European Tour titles, has been going through a slump on the European Tour for past two years, but on Sunday he showed that he might be finding his form once again.

The last time Chawrasia recorded a 65 on an European Tour event was in Hong Kong Open in November 2017 and last year he shot 65 in the second round of Take Solutions Masters on Asian Tour.

Austrian Bernd Wiesberger won his fifth European Tour title after a thrilling final day battle with Robert MacIntyre. The Austrian started the day a shot clear of his playing partner at Himmerland Golf & Spa Resort but the duo could not be separated after 15 holes, with both men producing some stunning golf.

Wiesberger (66) totalled 14-under 270 to McIntyre's (66) 13-under 271.

Gaganjeet Bhullar (75) ended T-63, while Shubhankar Sharma (74) was T-73rd at the end of a disappointing week after making five birdies in last six holes in the second round to make the cut.

Chawrasia, who twice gave away four shots in first four holes of the tournament and then again had four bogeys in a row at the start of the third round, said, "I have been hitting well, but making too many three-putts and missing makeable putts. Today I hit the ball close enough and also holed many putts. Hopefully I can carry the positives of this round further."
