Shane Lowry finished as the best of the Irish at Mount Juliet.
WATCHING PÁDRAIG HARRINGTON munch on a 99 ice cream while walking up the 15th fairway at Mount Juliet likely wasn’t on many people’s bingo list for things to happen during the final round of the Horizon Irish Open, but then this tournament tends to surprise.
But this was another week where Harrington reminded you that, even at the age of 50, he’s still able to mix it with the best of them. If he had turned in the same score on the back-nine – unlikely, but let’s have some fun – then he would have set the initial clubhouse target at 16-under, which would have seen him finish tied-third in the end.
In a week where there wasn’t much Irish representation at the top of the leaderboard, having an all-Irish pairing on Sunday was at least some fan service, even if to see them off at the first you would have had to drag yourself out of bed at the crack of dawn for their 7:53am tee time. After playing his final 40 holes of the tournament in 13-under, you wonder what if he had started as well as he finished. All he needed to be was eight-under for his first 32 holes to win as opposed to walking down the 18th while the leaders were making the turn.Rugby Analysis Get Murray Kinsella's match analysis and Garry Doyle's updates from New Zealand exclusive to membersIt didn’t stop the sold-out Mount Juliet crowd roaring him down the final hole, though.
