Fisher the king of Killarney
Fisher is regarded as a gentleman of the golfing world and though he deprived local hero Pádraig Harrington of the coveted title and the €500,000 first prize in the 3 Irish Open, the crowd of 25,673 took him to their hearts and, as he put it: “made me feel at home”.
Fisher captured his fourth European Tour title closing with an admirable 65 for an 18-under-par aggregate of 266, two ahead of Harrington who did everything in his powers to bridge the three-shot overnight gap.
