The Irish Open: The first for Polish golf

Leading the Irish Open since the first round, Adrian Mironek retained the lead to become the first Polish golfer to win on the European Tour. The 29-year-old brought back a final card of 66, to endure the resounding comeback of New Zealander Ryan Fox, who went from 15th to second after playing 64 on Sunday. Meronke punctuates this tournament with 268 shots, 3 lengths ahead of Fox and four lengths ahead of South Africa’s Thurston Lawrence.

For his part, Thomas Detry returned the last card of 70 (-2), after five sparrows for two bogeys. The Brussels native had six ranks and was joint 58th with 284 rounds (-4).
