Jacob Thorbjørn Olesen (born 21 December 1989) is a Danish professional golfer who plays on the European Tour. Olesen was born in Furesø and turned professional in 2008. He finished in fourth place on the third tier Nordic League rankings in 2009, having won three tournaments, to graduate to Europe's second tier Challenge Tour for 2010. During his début season he claimed his first Challenge Tour title at The Princess, held in Sweden at the beginning of July. He finished third in the 2010 Challenge Tour ranking, earning him full exemption (category 10b) for the 2011 European Tour. In December 2010, Olesen tied for second place at the Alfred Dunhill Championship, the first tournament of the 2011 European Tour season. This was equaled in June 2011, when Olesen tied for second at the BMW Italian Open in Turin, mostly due to a 10-under-par round of 62 on the final day, but still coming up short by one stroke of Englishman Robert Rock.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Olesen shoots final day 62 but misses out by one )〕 The following month Olesen finished in a tie for second again at the Alstom Open de France when he bogeyed the last hole to finish one stroke behind Thomas Levet. With this finish, Olesen qualified for The 2011 Open Championship, his first major. Olesen won the 2012 Sicilian Open. This victory placed him in the top-100 of the Official World Golf Ranking.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Official World Golf Ranking – Week 13, 2012 )〕 After the final event of the 2012 season, the DP World Tour Championship, Dubai where he finished T21, Olesen moved into the world top-50 for the first time as No. 50〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Official World Golf Ranking – Week 47, 2012 )〕 and played the Masters for the first time in 2013. In the 2013 Masters Tournament, after an opening round of 78, Olesen shot rounds of 70, 68, and 68 to finish at four-under-par 284, good enough for a sixth place tie. His final three rounds of 206 combined were ten-under-par, the best in the tournament. He earned enough money to be eligible for Special Temporary Membership on the PGA Tour, which he accepted. This allowed him unlimited sponsor exemptions for the remainder of the 2013 season.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Olesen now temporary member )〕 ==Professional wins (8)== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Thorbjørn Olesen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
