Five birdies in the space of nine holes propelled South Australian Nick Cullen up the leaderboard on the final day of the Made In Denmark tournament on the European Tour on Sunday to finish tied for 49th.

Cullen was the best performed Aussie at the Silkeborg Ry Golf Club where Matt Wallace recorded his third win of the year, emerging victorious on the second extra hole after a four-man playoff with fellow Englishmen Lee Westwood, Steven Brown and Jonathan Thomson.

Cullen has split his time between the European Tour and the secondary Challenge Tour in 2018 and ended his maiden appearance in Denmark in fine style, a 3-under 69 on Sunday moving him up 12 spots on the leaderboard to be tied for 49th.

Rounds of 68 and 69 in the second and third rounds put Marcus Fraser in position for a strong finish but an even-par 72 in the final round saw him drop 13 places to be tied for 56th, Matthew Millar also ending the week at 5-under with a 1-over 73 in his fourth rounds.

Brett Rumford was just two off the lead after an opening round of 66 but six bogeys and two double bogeys in his third round of 78 ended his challenge, a final round of 69 a nice bounce-back as he finished tied for 65th.

West Australian Jason Scrivener was the only other Australian to make the cut, a final round of 73 seeing him drop 15 places to be tied for 69th.

Adam Bland, Jason Norris, Lucas Herbert, Sam Brazel, Jack Munro, Andrew Dodt, Richard Green and Scott Hend all missed the cut.

Victorian Ben Eccles was the only Aussie representative at the Challenge Tour’s Cordon Golf Open in France, a final round of 2-over 72 that featured three birdies, a double and a triple bogey dropping him 10 places to finish tied for 41st.
