Australian Lucas Herbert produced a brilliant battling round of 68 to win his second European Tour title in wire to wire fashion at the 2021 Dubai Duty Free Irish Open.
He became the second Australian to win in Europe this weekend, with Steph Kyriacou winning on the Ladies European Tour.
The 25-year-old Herbert entered the final day at Mount Juliet Estate with a one shot advantage and while he extended that to three in the early stages of his round, he would not have it all his own way.
After losing control off the tee, he had to utilise all his scrambling skills and mental strength to reach the turn in 35 and at that point, he had been caught at the top of the leaderboard.
Herbert makes all to win Irish Open

Australian Lucas Herbert will take a one-shot lead into the final round of the Irish Open after a day that saw major champions Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry fall by the wayside.
Herbert has been the star of the show in County Kilkenny, leading after every round so far, but it has been local hero Lowry and Northern Ireland s McIlroy who have taken the crowds with them as fans returned to the fairways in the British Isles for the first time since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic.
