The Irish Open is a European Tour event which takes place in May. The current champion is Richard Finch from England. The tournament will take place at Adare Manor Hotel & Golf Resort. It has been held on different courses in recent years and was first played in 1927.
The Irish Open takes part a week before the BMW Championship which is the biggest event of the season. As a result it attracts a very strong field. In 2008 Richard Finch won the tournament despite falling in the river playing a recovery shot on the final hole. |
