McIlroy in high spirits ahead of Ryder Cup after Irish victory

DUBLIN - Rory McIlroy sank an incredible eagle putt from nearly 30 feet on the final hole to force a play-off with Joakim Lagergren, before beating the Swede on the third extra hole to win the Irish Open for a second time on Sept 7.

World No. 2 and Masters champion McIlroy was staring down the barrel when Lagergren returned to the clubhouse after shooting a six-under 66, knowing only an eagle on the par-five 18th would keep his hopes alive and the Northern Irish golfer did not disappoint.

"Get in the hole," yelled the crowd after the Northern Irishman played his shot, and as they held their breath, the ball rolled in before they erupted as one with chants of "Rory! Rory!"
