Irish Open baby holds out until the final tee-off

WITH a sense of timing that was absolutely perfect, little Charlie O’Meara arrived into the world just hours after his proud dad stepped out of the limelight at the Irish Open Golf Championship.

Killarney Golf and Fish-ing Club general manager Maurice O’Meara had just overseen a dramatic conclusion to the big event on the Killeen course on Sunday night when he received a call that his wife, Claire, was going into labour.

Their third child wasn’t due until yesterday but clever Charlie opted to arrive that little bit early to steal some of the limelight from Irish Open winner Simon Dyson.
