Vincent Norrman surged up the leaderboard early Sunday at the Horizon Irish Open, then waited around to see if any of the other pursuers could catch him. They could not. A seven-under 65, with seven birdies, was just enough to claim the title at the K Club outside as Norrman improved 20 positions to claim his second professional title. He finished at 14-under total and earned $1.02 million for his victory from a $6 million overall purse. The 25-year-old from Sweden won the PGA Tour's Barbasol Championship back in June.
Hurly Long birdied the last hole to finish solo second place at 13 under. A group of four others, including home favorite Shane Lowry, tied for third place two shots off the lead. There were several other names who nipped closer at times but failed to close. Rory McIlroy was among those chasing but was ultimately undone by a double bogey on the front nine and then a triple-bogey 8 on the 16th hole via two penalty shots. He birdied the final hole to shoot 74 and tied for 16th place. Billy Horschel went out in 33 to sneak into contention but made four bogeys and a double bogey on a back-nine 43 to shoot 76 and fall back considerably.
The event served as a prelude to next week’s BMW PGA Championship, the flagship event on the DP World Tour schedule as well as a momentum builder for the Ryder Cup later this month. European captain Luke Donald, who tied for 45th place in Ireland, is said to have planned a trip with his squad to Marco Simone, the Ryder Cup venue outside Rome, for an early scouting trip in the next few days.
