Playoff win sees Dodd capture Irish Open title

Stephen Dodd, who played 165 events before he won his first European Tour title last November, did it again tonight in the Nissan Irish Open at Carton House.

Third place was shared by Liverpool’s Nick Dougherty and Argentinian Angel Cabrera, while Padraig Harrington and Lee Westwood shared fifth with Australian Nick O’Hern, who equalled the record on the Colin Montgomerie-designed lay-out with his round of 66.
