Von Dellingshausen lands maiden DP Tour win in Austria
Nicolai von Dellingshausen earned his maiden DP World Tour title after producing a brilliant burst of scoring around the turn on to win the Austrian Alpine Open by two shots. The German started Sunday one shot off the lead but found himself three in front after 10 holes thanks to a birdie-eagle-birdie run from the eighth. He had to overcome some hurdles on the back nine but managed to par his way home to finish the tournament on 19 under par, two clear of long-time leader Marcel Schneider and last week's winner Kristoffer Reitan, who fired a bogey-free 60 to set a testing clubhouse target. Australia's Daniel Gale, who carded impressive opening rounds of a 68 and 66 to occupy joint sixth place on Saturday morning, ended the tournament tied at 17th, following back-to-back rounds of 69 to finish on eight under for the tournament. Fellow Australian Danny List ended on six under to share 27th place with six other players. HotelPlanner Tour graduate Von Dellingshausen said: "I'm trying really hard not to cry. It's been such a tough journey the last two-and-a-half years with losing the card. "It's all got me to this stage right here and now I'm here! "I love playing in Austria. I always play well when I play here for some reason - must be the food! "It was just amazing to have so many people coming out here cheering for us."

Von Dellingshausen fights back tears after Austrian Alpine Open glory
Nicolai von Dellingshausen earned his maiden DP World Tour title after producing a brilliant burst of scoring around the turn on Sunday to win the Austrian Alpine Open by two shots. The German started the day one shot off the lead but found himself three in front after 10 holes thanks to a birdie-eagle-birdie run from the eighth. He had to overcome some hurdles on the back nine but managed to par his way home to finish the tournament on 19-under-par, two clear of long-time leader Marcel Schneider and last week's winner Kristoffer Reitan, who fired a bogey-free 60 to set a testing clubhouse target. HotelPlanner Tour graduate Von Dellingshausen said: "I'm trying really hard not to cry. It's been such a tough journey the last two-and-a-half years with losing the card.

Fine margins as Ferguson and Fyfe miss out on a double Scotch
There are, of course, plenty of things you can try to do to aid this infernal process of hitting a small ball with a stick. The great Sam Snead, for instance, would often hum The Blue Danube to maintain a delightfully smooth motion of impeccable timing. As for me? Well, as I shoogle into the address position, while trying to remember the sage advice that I should 'swivel canny and keep yer ee on the erse o' the ba'', the increasingly flustered nature of golf at my level doesn't really lend itself to the measured cadences of a Strauss waltz. It's more like the pandemonium of the theme tune that accompanied the closing slap-stick chase in The Benny Hill Show. So, let's move on to folk with a bit of natural flair for this game, shall we? At the weekend, there was hope that we would get to savour a double-whammy of Scottish successes on the DP World Tour and the HotelPlanner Tour, formerly the Challenge Tour, as Ewen Ferguson and Calum Fyfe both assumed command in the Soudal Open and the Danish Golf Challenge respectively after 54-holes. In fact, when Robert MacIntyre muscled his way into contention during round three of the Charles Schwab Challenge on the PGA Tour over in the US, we probably got a trifle greedy and thought the tartan lads would knock off a triple crown. In the end, of course, we ended up with nowt. Ferguson, leading by two with 18-holes to play in Belgium, watched his par-putt on the last to win a fourth tour crown lip out and he was vanquished in a three-man play-off. Fyfe, meanwhile, saw his three-shot overnight lead gobbled up by Jonathan Goth-Rasmussen. Despite a valiant brace of birdies on the last two holes, the Glasgow man was pipped to a maiden title on the second-tier circuit by a shot. Disappointment is par for the course in this game. Fyfe's loss, in particular, was a mighty shame. Just a couple of weeks after the death of his mother, there was a great poignancy to his brave title tilt. Hopefully, opportunity will come knocking again for the spirited 27-year-old who earned his stripes with wins on the now defunct PGA EuroPro Tour and Paul Lawrie's Tartan Pro Tour in recent seasons. Fyfe's golfing journey has been one of drive, determination and resilience, which are just some of the valuable attributes you need to have a chance of making a decent fist of it in this ruthless old business. Back in 2017, he won the Scottish amateur order of merit, despite having to limit his outings due to funding issues. With his mum seriously ill at the time, there was plenty of domestic anguish to deal with too, but Fyfe's resolve and ambition would remain undiminished. Golf may be a very individual pursuit but it's hard to make it on your own. Not everybody gets a helping hand, but Fyfe was fortunate to earn the support of the Golfing 4 Life programme, a philanthropic initiative designed to aid talented golfers who face financial constraints. That programme was co-founded by Jimmy Byers and the well-kent music guru, Bill Curbishley. Among his many famous clients, Curbishley managed the affairs of rock giants, The Who. Apparently, there's no truth in the rumour that Roger Daltrey's iconic scream in the song 'Won't Get Fooled Again' was recorded during a company golf outing when he three-putted from six-feet. In a conversation with this scribe a few years ago, the aforementioned Byers spoke enthusiastically of Fyfe's talents and character. 'He wants to win, he's hungry as hell and he's a little terrier,' he said of the softly spoken father of two. Those qualities will stand him in good stead. In a professional scene of daunting strength in depth across the spectrum, winning, at any level, is hellishly difficult. Fyfe is well aware of that. His sturdy overnight advantage evaporated with three bogeys on his first eight holes of the closing round. To his credit, Fyfe covered his last six holes in four-under to keep himself in the thick of it when he could've easily slithered out of the picture. To Goth-Rasmussen's credit, meanwhile, the Dane birdied his last hole to pinch the prize by a fine margin. Fyfe's runners-up finish hoisted him up to 15th place on the HotelPlanner Tour rankings. We're only a third of the way through the season but his push for promotion to the DP World Tour has been given a significant lift, despite the disappointment of defeat. The cut-and thrust of the Challenge Tour – sorry, I still can't get used to calling it the wonderfully bland HotelPlanner Tour – continues to provide a tremendously thorough apprenticeship 'I always knew I had the game to compete on here,' he said after Saturday's third round. On this proven breeding ground, Fyfe continues to prove his worth. And look at that? You've reached the bottom of this page again. Another meaningless task of everyday life is complete.
