Dougherty laughs off Open questions

Nick Dougherty could not stop himself from laughing last night after the inevitable question came up following his victory in the BMW International Open in Germany.

The one-stroke win over Argentina’s Rafa Echenique, who in a dramatic finish sank a 243-yard three-iron for an albatross two on the closing hole, earned Dougherty a place in the Open at Turnberry.
