Jamie Donaldson clinched his maiden European Tour title at the 255th time of asking as he shot 18 under to win The Irish Open at Royal Portrush. The Welshman produced eight birdies in his final round to fend off challengers Anthony Wall, Rafa Cabrera-Bello, Fabrizio Zanotti and Mikael Lundberg, winning emphatically by four shots, to delight the 112,280 spectators who flocked to Northern Ireland.
While most players would have afforded themselves a glance at the leaderboard throughout the afternoon, Donaldson, who led after three rounds but started his round behind Lundberg, admitted he kept away from how things were transpiring around him. -----
