The Ras Al Khaimah Championship makes its third appearance on the DP World Tour this week as the International Swing continues with a third consecutive event in the United Arab Emirates at Al Hamra Golf Club. Daniel Gavins returns this week to defend his title. The Englishman missed the cut last week at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic but will hope the memories of his remarkable triumph will inspire him to mount a strong title defence. Two years on from Nicolai Højgaard’s victory at the inaugural Ras Al Khaimah Championship, Rasmus will aim to emulate his twin brother by etching his name onto the trophy. The four-time DP World Tour champion has begun the new year in impressive fashion with back-to-back ties for 11th in Dubai. Jordan Smith will also be in the United Arab Emirates this week. He won the European Challenge Tour’s Ras Al Khaimah Golf Challenge in 2016 and has since gone on to win twice on the DP World Tour. He’s hoping to make it back-to-back English winners of the event. Others to look out for are Yannik Paul, Thriston Lawrence and Jayden Schaper.

On the team from Denmark jwor Allison he really has fo on the most amazing putting display over the last 36 holes 6263 Allison as I mentioned 20 birdies in two rounds of golf if he keeps that going then no one’s going to catch him that’s a bit early by the [Applause]

Way that’s too early ah there we go down the middle off and running just uh wonderfully there for the leader this angle couldn’t be better from just under 196 to be precise I expect him to get this up and down well he’s got a great chance orison three good shots at the first

Hole is that P is still red hot this is a massive putt this for momentum massive and he’s done exactly what he’s done so far this week he has popped it right in the middle it’s a birdy at the first for Allison he moves to 23 under

Buka shot he won’t go at it there’s a big clump of something desert Bush so this is out sideways Easy Shot really ooh ooh where’s it gone radar it’s just flopped it out and he didn’t make the Fairway still in the RO not this time that is a double bogey six for torban

Allison he’s back to 21 under and all of a sudden through the first two two holes the lead has been hared Whoa We too close almost wasn’t he uh just couldn’t get was never going to get enough spin but it’s a daunting shot with everything going against him at the

Moment it’s going to come off that Ridge should got a bit left now it’s going to come back oh he’s read that well he’s read that well oh my goodness me what was that so boys and girls if you aspire to play professional golf well I know a lot of you

Do wedge the golf ball to death yeah good shot straight up the hill with the wind out of the right hand side and break out of the right hand side Dell on that [Applause] one finally looking human on the greens their PA that one just tied it up so 22 underpar

Well they hadit a good one down six that’s just going a little left no that’s perfect look like it was turning that way that’s absolutely spot on there from erison this hi is it soft oh how about seizing the moment how about you seize the moment goodness gracious that’s for an [Applause]

Eagle and just like that toan olison he’s back to three shots ahead of Rasmus hyar having been tied for the lead standing on that eighth T well bit agree to work with generally a very good bunker player little cushion of air into his face as [Applause] well no mistake from our leader though

Who remains three in front of his younger Danish compatriot yeah hard as whole this one because of this t-shot it’s uh can you commit to it and he has done find the Fairway here it’s a mighty shot brilliant way he’s driven the ball today he wouldn’t have been feeling that

Comfortable on that te that’s a sign of a champion there go go go unless of course he starts rolling these in and no one can do anything about that Relentless absolutely Relentless isn’t he tby list he rolls in another one 25 ft right of it would be acceptable he’s feeling

It yeah when you’re putting like he has been putting you can put it in the middle of probably just about every green and take your chances from there another good part they don’t all go in well I say that they have been for Allison this week left no good at all that bunker

Isn’t nice there the semi- rough on the right is just it’s not very thick that’s just fine there play a little releaser up the green pretty easy shot this should get it [Applause] close did it absolutely Bob on well didn’t start that left Edge he started it sort of straight maybe left

Half like we used to throw stones across the pond pretty clever huh tasty [Applause] tasty the lad is four with four to play for tooran olison will he take the flag on with a five IR trying to hold it up it’s exactly what he did it’s the safe

Side of the pin it’s on the patting surface would have sealed the deal wouldn’t it you’d have to think but he’ll keep that Force Advantage he doesn’t really need to do anything spectacular at all does he now torban olison a four shot lead three holes to go [Applause]

25 30 ft left of it that’ll get the job done don’t want to miss it right getting cute with it in that right hand bunker perfection e makes the P so he stays four in front only two holes to go now well no Drop shots on the back nine

How about that a difficult Golf Course really he’s made it look easy that was a good shot get it pin High it’s another clutch part from torby and olison who manages to escape there with a par it’s a belter isn’t it absolutely perfect for Allison oh

No well heit left yesterday I feel it’s heading the same way it doesn’t matter really does it found the bunker this is the moment pop it in go on very good very good shot very sensible shot from erison [Applause] never in doubt eight wins now for torban olison

Unstoppable over the weekend here he really was and a closing 67 has wrapped up the victory quite comfortably toon congratulations this is your eighth DP World Tour win house special as this you’ve got your family with you obviously a little boy as well uh just sum it up for us yeah very

Special um obviously standing here with Cooper is uh yeah makes it even more special um it was still a battle out there you know it got close and thank you ladies and gentl one of the most Talent players wrestl champ it was going to be

Tough and we TI for the for the prize presentation will be nice golf coming in obviously some very talented Dan in the final group there Rasmus made the birdie on the seventh hole to tie for the top of the lead but talk to us about that second shot on eight that was an

Incredible Eagle on a three shot swing as well yeah I mean obviously G didn’t get off to the best of start and you know you’re always going to have some bad stretch um in a tournament and I had it there and I was just trying to be patient and and hopefully start hitting

Some good shots and that that fivewood on uh on eight was uh was very special and then being able to hold the pot also obviously put me in a good position um but yeah it was still that a battle the whole way around but uh like I said I

Really hold the right pots at the right time that that um yeah speaking of special your puttting was special what was the secret yeah I don’t know I mean I told you a couple of days ago I think the last few weeks I’ve been putting really well um obviously not quite as

Well as this this week but um I’ve been rolling it really well and uh you know I had a a few days where everything pretty much went in and you know today even on 17 you know it could easily have been a two shot swing but I managed to hold

That part so um yeah um I would like to just keep keep rolling it like this and finally obviously this is a new year uh going into 2024 you know a great start already what is your goals for the rest of the season yeah I mean obviously to
