SCIACCA, Sicily (AP) Thorbjorn Olesen of Denmark shot a 69 to win the Sicilian Open by 1 shot on Sunday, holding off England's Chris Wood who equaled the course record with an 8-under 64 on Sunday.
Olesen made six birdies to finish with an overall 15-under 273 at Verdura Golf and Spa Resort for his first career victory on the European Tour.
Wood picked up five shots in his first five holes - including an eagle on the par-5 fourth - and tied for the lead when Olesen bogeyed after hitting a wild approach shot to the 13th green.
But the 22-year-old Olesen, who led by three shots overnight, recovered with a birdie on No. 14 and finished with four straight pars.
