Vincent Norrman won his second DP World Tour title in spectacular fashion at the K Club. The 25-year-old was in a neck-and-neck battle with Hurly Long but suceeded with a single shot lead in the end. The Horizon Irish Open was intense after the midway point as there was a clear 4-way tie for the champion.
However, as the final round arrived, Norrman and Long looked like clear contenders and competed against each other for the winner's share from the $3 million prize pool. Norrman had a shaky start in the tournament and bogeyed hole no.13 for the first three rounds. However, his final round was bogey free with a 7-under 65 score.
The Swedish golfer was trailing Hurly Long for the majority of the tournament and ended his final swing after tying the game with a 14-under score. Long had to eagle the par-5 closing hole but the German golfer squandered the moment resulting in a clear win for Norrman.
