On a testing Himmerland Golf & Spa Resort layout in Aalborg, Marc Warren used accuracy into the greens and a silky touch with the putter to take the title at the Inaugural Made in Denmark.
The Scot hit a shade over 70 per cent of the greens in regulation during the four rounds in Scandinavia, ranking third for the week, while his Putts per GIR was equally impressive, finishing fifth for 72 holes with an average of 1.691.
That kind of form with the flat stick has been one of the foundations of Warren’s game all season, with the 33 year old Glaswegian now 12th on the Putts per GIR for the year so far. The key seemed to be a marked improvement in his accuracy into the putting surfaces, where he is currently ranked 66th for the year with an average of 68.2 per cent.
As for the rest of the Scotsman’s statistics from Denmark, his numbers were consistent if not spectacular, on a course that rewarded accurate play. From the tee he ranked 50th for the week, hitting just over half of the fairways, while his distance saw him come in at 27th, averaging 284.8 yards.
His sand play left a little to be desired, getting up and down just a quarter of the time when he found the often tricky bunkers around the greens, but it did not matter too much.
The numbers that will please Warren most though, is that the Scot is now 20th on The Race to Dubai, thanks to his third European Tour title.
