IT’S ironic that after all the predictions of a sub-60 round at the 3 Irish Open, the feat was achieved at the weekend – but not in Killarney.

THE chief executive of Irish Open sponsors 3 is remaining tight lipped over the venue – and timing – for next year’s event.

HAVING gone into the final two rounds in a seemingly ideal position, Rory McIlroy’s concentration levels let him down badly in the final 27 holes at the 3 Irish Open at Killarney.

A NOTHER second place finish, another big pay day (€333,330), a bundle of world ranking and Ryder Cup points.
