Notes

  1. The number in brackets after each winner's name is the number of Nordic Golf League events they had won up to and including that tournament. It is rare for someone to accumulate many wins on the Nordic Golf League as success at this level usually leads to promotion to the Challenge Tour.

Her var Jesper Kennegård, som vinder af ranglisten allerede inden denne uge, og Niclas Johansson sikre på at kvalificere sig. Jeff Winther på tredjepladsen og Joakim Rask på femtepladsen endte også med at holde sin plads i top-5 efter dagens nervepirrende runde, hvor de selv spillede sekundære roller.
