Rory McIlroy held his nerve to win the Irish Open in a dramatic play-off and claim his first victory since completing the career Grand Slam at the Masters in April.

The world number two edged out Sweden’s Joakim Lagergren on the third extra hole to win his national title at the K Club for the second time.

In a remarkable finish, McIlroy eagled the 72nd hole to force extra time with Lagergren amid ecstatic scenes at the County Kildare course.

Both players birdied the first two play-off holes, but McIlroy secured the title after Lagergren found water on the third, giving the Northern Irishman his fourth win of the year.

“I thought it was going to be a nice homecoming, obviously coming home with a green jacket and all that, but this has been absolutely incredible,” McIlroy told Sky Sports.

“This has exceeded all of my expectations. I’m just so, so happy I could play the way I did this week for all of them and get the win.”
