Simon Dyson has won the Irish Open.
The Englishman held his nerve during a tense shoot-out with Richard Green of Australia along the back-nine in Killarney to finish on 15 under par.
Green had a chance to win the tournament, but he three-putted on the 18th to hand Dyson a one-stroke victory.
Peter Lawrie finished as the best-placed of the Irish players on nine under par after a two-under round of 69.
Graeme McDowell finished on four under after a bogey on the 18th, while Rory McIlroy was a shot further back.

Meanwhile, Padraig Harrington has announced that he has split with long-term coach Bob Torrance.
The three-time major winnner has slumped from third in the world to 64th since his US PGA Championship victory three years ago.
