The 2021 DS Automobiles Italian Open final leaderboard is headed by winner Nicolai Højgaard, who earned his first European Tour win at Marco Simone Golf and Country Club in Rome, Italy.
Højgaard posted 13-under 271 to earn a one-shot victory over Tommy Fleetwood and Adrian Meronk. That was the same score against par by which Nicolai's twin brother, Rasmus, won the prior week in Switzerland for his third European Tour win.
The win marks history on the European Tour for the Finnish duo.
Francesco Laporta finished alone in fourth place, two shots out of the lead.
Højgaard won the €485,330 winner's share of the €3,000,000 purse.
