Cazoo Open de France - Day four digest

Everything you need to know from day four at Le Golf National.

Migliozzi was the main man, Højgaard was happy with his week and the locals had a new hero as the Cazoo Open de France reached a dramatic conclusion on Sunday.

Here is everything you need to know from day four at Le Golf National.

Threesy does it for Migliozzi

A brilliant birdie at the last capped a superb final round for Guido Migliozzi as he surged through the chasing pack to win on the outskirts of Paris. The 25-year-old began the day five shots off the lead but a course record-equalling 62 saw him edge past Rasmus Højgaard for a third DP World Tour win and his first in three years. “It was one of those days that I love to play golf. I love to battle on the golf course and today I received something back from golf. It was a beautiful day of golf,” said the Italian.

Højgaard takes the positives

Rasmus Højgaard took the positives out of his second place after finishing a shot behind Migliozzi. The 21-year-old, the third-youngest player to win on the DP World Tour, held a six-shot halfway lead but his advantage had been reduced to just one heading into the fourth day and he was pipped to the title by a magnificent round from Migliozzi, who matched Højgaard's 62 from day one. The Dane was left to rue a quintuple-bogey eight on the third on day three but was keeping everything in perspective. "Obviously there's a lot of good stuff out there,” he said. “It was a few silly mistakes over the last two days that cost me the win this week but I'm happy with where my golf is heading towards. I'm striking the ball good and I'm putting nice. I've enjoyed it this week. I just have to take the positives."

Shot of the year?

The 18th at Le Golf National is one of the most fearsome tests on the DP World Tour. Nobody had made a birdie on it all day when Migliozzi stepped up needing just that to set the clubhouse target with a one-shot lead. Then he did this.

"The shot was something incredible," he said. "I went for it and it paid off. My caddie was not happy: it was not the real strategy but I felt I could try."

Barjon brings the house down

Paul Barjon may be French but it's fair to say he was not that well known this side of the Atlantic before last week. The 2019 PGA TOUR Canada Order of Merit winner has also won on the Korn Ferry Tour but was playing his very first DP World Tour event in Europe, having teed it up at the Fiji International, two U.S. Opens and the Barbasol and Barracuda Championships earlier this season. After four under-par rounds and a tie for third at one of European golf's most famous venues, it's safe to say he's known of now, and the home fans love him.

Not all pars are equal

But the scorecard tells no lies. Take a bow Thomas Pieters.
