The Horizon Irish Open saved the best for the last, with several surprises occurring on the final day. The best part went to Sweden's Vincent Norrman, who climbed 20 places during the fourth round to take home the title.
Vincent Norrman played the best fourth round among all players (65) to take the Irish Open title with a final score of 14-under 274. It was a bogey-free final day in which Norrman carded seven birdies.
The spectacular result for the newly crowned 2023 Irish Open champion was defined on the back nine of the fourth round.
Vincent Norrman started well the fourth round at the Irish Open, with birdies on the 7th and 9th. But it was on the back nine where he showed his full potential, going out with five birdies, including the 18th hole that virtually gave him the victory.
The runner up of the Irish Open, Hurly Long was just one stroke behind the leader with a score of -13. Long also closed with a birdie on the 18th hole, but made too many bogeys (4) in the round and it was not enough to displace Norrman.
2023 Irish Open is Vincent Norrman's second win on the DP World Tour. He had won the Barbasol Championship in July (an event co-sanctioned by the PGA Tour).
