DP World Tour: Horizon Irish Open ..Results
Vincent Norrman secured a second DP World Tour title in just his 14th appearance after firing a flawless 65 in the weather-affected final round of the 2023 Horizon Irish Open to overcome a host of world-class challengers and win by a single stroke.
Norrman began the day six shots off the lead but picked up six birdies in eight holes around the turn either side of a lengthy weather delay to surge into contention.
And after pulling off some valuable par saves over the closing holes, the Swede completed his round with a close-range birdie on the 18th to set the clubhouse target at 14 under par.
That was good enough for a share of the lead at the time, but with a large chasing pack - which included World Number Two Rory McIlroy - breathing down his neck several holes further back down the course, he faced an anxious wait to discover whether his total would be enough.
With third-round leader Hurly Long - who had been locked alongside Norrman when he finished his round - slipping backwards on the stretch and no-one else able to get to 14 under, Norrman secured his second title of the 2023 season following his maiden triumph at the Barbasol Championship in July
