McDowell confirmed for Irish Open

The European Tour have announced that Graeme McDowell will play at this year’s 3 Irish Open, when the tournament returns to Killarney Golf and Fishing Club from July 29 to August 1.

McDowell became the first Irishman in history to lift the US Open with his victory at Pebble Beach on Sunday, as the 30-year-old stormed from 37th to 13th in the Official World Golf Ranking and straight to the top of The Race to Dubai.
