The 18-year-old Dane, playing in just his fifth event on the European Tour, edged out fellow rookie Antoine Rozner at the 572-yard par-five 18th to become the third youngest winner in the tour's history.

Italian Renato Paratore was earlier knocked out at the first extra hole as he found water with his second shot to the green, after the trio all finished on 19-under-par in regulation play at the Heritage Golf Club.

Hojgaard, who turned professional at the start of the year, missed an eagle putt to seal victory on the first extra trip down the 18th, as Rozner produced an excellent up-and-down from the greenside bunker to make a birdie to extend play further.

Hojgaard, who was one shot off the lead at the turn, made a five-foot birdie putt at the 18th in regulation to join Paratore, who had earlier set the clubhouse target with a five-under 67 including seven birdies.

Rozner recovered from dropping two shots in his opening three holes to hit the front with a birdie at the 14th before he came up short with a birdie putt to win the tournament on the 72nd hole.

Thomas Detry, who was playing with Rozner in the final group, missed out on the play-off as he missed his own birdie putt at the last.

The Belgian had earlier recovered from a double bogey six at the 11th to make birdies at the 14th and 16th, before he fell out of a share of the lead with a dropped shot at the 17th after he found a difficult lie in the bunker.

Louis de Jager, who charged up the leaderboard with a best-of-the day eight-under 64, joined Detry in a five-way share of fourth place on 18-under-par alongside Benjamin Hebert (66) and Scotland's Grant Forrest (66).

Fellow Scotsman Connor Syme (69) finished in a tie for ninth, three shots behind the leaders, with compatriot Calum Hill, who held a share of the overnight lead two shots further back after a 74.

Louis Oosthuizen leads Mauritius Open, eyes 2nd straight win

• Associated Press

BEL-OMBRE, Mauritius -- Louis Oosthuizen moved into position to win on the European tour for the second straight week after making three eagles in a 7-under 65 to take the third-round lead at the Mauritius Open on Saturday.

Oosthuizen was on 14-under par for the tournament and 1 shot clear of fellow South African Jacques de Villiers (68), with Laurie Canter (65) a further 2 strokes back in third.

Oosthuizen's remarkable round at La Réserve Golf Links included back-to-back eagles at Nos. 5 and 6 -- the latter coming when he pitched over a bunker before the ball rolled into the cup -- and another eagle at the par-5 15th hole thanks to a long, uphill, right-to-left putt.

He also made four birdies and three bogeys.

Oosthuizen, the 2010 Open champion, claimed his 10th European tour title -- and first in five years -- by winning the Alfred Dunhill Championship in his native country Monday.

Sebastian Söderberg led after the second round but shot 77 to drop into 22nd place, 9 strokes off the lead.

The Mauritius Open completes the swing of tournaments in Africa before the European tour takes a break until January for a string of events in the Middle East, starting with the Dubai Invitational on Jan. 11.

Rozner hits 10 birdies and an eagle in 10-under 62 to open title defense at Mauritius Open

BEL-OMBRE, Mauritius — French golfer Antoine Rozner made a hot start to his title defense at the Mauritius Open by shooting 10-under 62 to take a one-stroke lead after the first round of the European tour event on Thursday.

Starting at No. 10, the 128th-ranked Rozner had five birdies and an eagle in shooting 29 in his first nine holes before making four birdies in his next five holes, leaving him in sight of a rare 59.

However, he bogeyed two of his last four holes in a closing stretch that still included a 10th birdie of his round, which was the lowest of his career on the European tour and a course record at La Réserve Golf Links.

“It was unbelievable — didn't miss a shot, holed everything I had, holed a bunker shot. Literally everything went my way,” said Rozner, who won by five strokes last year.

“After the birdie at No. 5, I really thought about shooting 59 but a bad tee shot at No. 6 cost me that magic number.”

Paul Waring of England shot a bogey-free 63 and was alone in second place, two strokes ahead of Jayden Schaper of South Africa (65).

The Mauritius Open completes the swing of tournaments in Africa before the European tour takes a break over Christmas before resuming in January for a string of events in the Middle East, starting with the Dubai Invitational on Jan. 11.

2024 DP World Tour schedule: Tournaments, dates, purses and venues

The 2024 DP World Tour (European Tour) schedule has been announced, with a significant overhaul to the schedule that golf fans have been accustomed to seeing in recent years.

The most significant changes to the schedule are the creation of different seven different blocks of the schedule. There are five separate "swings" in the schedule: Opening, International, Asian, European and Closing. The other two portions of the schedule are the Closing Nine and the DP World Tour playoffs, a two-event slate that will determine the Race to Dubai champion.

At the end of each swing, the top five players in Race to Dubai points from that stretch will get a share of a $1 million bonus pool.

The idea behind the schedule is to create incentives to continue playing on the DP World Tour through particular stretches of the year.
