McDowell scoops RTÉ Sportsperson of the Year award
The award crowned an amazing 2010 for the Portrush golfer, who claimed his first PGA Tour victory, becoming the first ever Irishman to win the US Open, before going on to play a pivotal role in the European Ryder Cup winning team with an incredible putt on the 16th hole of the deciding singles match.
In addition to claiming victory at the Wales Open at Celtic Manor earlier in the year, he finished the season by beating Tiger Woods in a play-off to win the 2010 Chevron World Challenge and also took home the Andalucia Valderrama Masters.
