Irish golf amateur Shane Lowry has taken first place at the 3 Irish Open after defeating Robert Rock in a nailbiting sudden death playoff. Lowry fended off competition from seasoned pros like Johan Edfors to become only the third amateur ever to win a European Title. The 22 year old Irishman has since turned professional on the back of his legendary victory on the links of Baltray Golf Club, Co. Louth and is set to rejoin the European Tour in the coming weeks.
