Knox went into the final round of Euro 4m event trailing four stroke behind ...

A very emotional Rory McIlroy ended a six-month winless drought producing two of his career best shots over the closing three holes to capture a first Irish Open title at the K. Club. McIlroy, also as the tournament host, displayed his enormous class coming from a shot behind Scotland’s Russell Knox in first hitting a 256-yard 3-wood into the 16th hole to set-up birdie and then sending a laser-like 5-wood to within tap-in distance for an eagle at the last to win by three shots with a 12-under par ...

Knox had been four under par through 15 holes when play was first halted for some two hours and 20 minutes, and then on return to the course could not believe his good fortune to see his approach ...

Tournament host Rory McIlroy insisted common sense prevailed in standing his ground and having play stopped on an already rain-interrupted rain-interrupted third day of the Irish Open. McIlroy was three shots clear of his rivals, at nine under par and standing on the 16th tee near 8.20pm local time when he became involved in discussion with a European Tour official over the worth of teeing up in the deteriorating light and continuing rain at the K.

Russell Knox reckons he owes good friend and fellow Jacksonville resident David Lingmerth a bottle of single malt Scotch after cracking the clubface of his driver on the opening day of the Dubai Duty Free Irish Open.
