KILLARNEY, Ireland, Aug. 1 (UPI) -- Ross Fisher had to fend off a charging Padraig Harrington Sunday to claim the 3 Irish Open championship by two strokes.
Harrington finished with a 7-under 64 and twice shared the lead, but Fisher rose to the challenge each time and shot a 6-under 65 to win the $785,000 first prize by two shots at 18-under 266.
Fisher's 266 equalled the tournament record European Ryder Cup captain Colin Montgomerie set nine years ago. Fisher on Friday came close to notching the European Tour's first-ever 59, settling for a 61.
Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano (67) and Chris Wood (68) shared third place at 14-under 270.
Richard Bland (65) and Richard Green (67) finished knotted for fifth place at minus-13.
