Relaxed Fisher focused on finding old form

EVEN titleholders have aspirations and the 2010 Irish Open champion Ross Fisher is no different from the rest of the field this week in looking at Rory McIlroy and Darren Clarke’s major victories as a spur to further personal success.

Fisher’s victory at Killarney & 12 months ago was the Englishman’s fourth on the European Tour and ushered in with a course-record 61 in the second round and a thrilling final-day duel with Pádraig Harrington.

It also helped secure his place on the European Ryder Cup team at Celtic Manor last October.
