Bjorn snatches win in Open thriller

Denmark's Thomas Bjorn is celebrating his win at the Nissan Irish Open after a nail-biting finish which saw Ireland's Darren Clarke come close.

Thomas Bjorn today triumphed at the rain-delayed Nissan Irish Open with a birdie on the final hole at Carton House.

Bjorn holed out from eight feet after Darren Clarke and Paul Casey missed chances on the par-five 18th as the €2.2m tournament was finally completed on the fifth day’s play.
