33 year old Simon Dyson of England completed a month to remember by winning the 2011 Irish Open Golf Championship presented by Discover Ireland in Killarney. 33 year old Simon Dyson of England completed a month to remember by winning the 2011 Irish Open Golf Championship presented by Discover Ireland in Killarney.

Dyson, took the first prize of €250,000 a fortnight after finishing ninth in The 2011 British Open Golf Championship at Royal St George's Links, Sandwich, England - an event he went into as fifth reserve less than a week before it started.

Two birdies in the final three holes for a closing 67 and 15 under par total gives Dyson a place in this week's World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational in Akron and possibly a spot back in the Official World Golf Ranking's top 50.

Green led for most of the last day and was one ahead when he matched Dyson's two-putt birdie on the long 16th.

Dyson, though, pitched to three feet at the next to draw level and then, having missed from nine feet for a third successive birdie on the last, saw Green send a near 60 footer ten feet past and miss the return.

Scot Stephen Gallacher was third on 12 under thanks to a closing birdie, with Austrian Bernd Wiesberger taking fourth.

At the start of the week it had all been about Ireland's four major winners Darren Clarke, Rory McIlroy, Graeme McDowell and Padraig Harrington, but not one of them finished in the top 20.

McDowell came 25th and McIlroy 34th, while Harrington and Clarke, in his first appearance since winning The Open, both missed the cut.

McIlroy, 25th in The Open, has just clung onto fourth place in the world as he heads back to America seven weeks after his runaway US Open triumph.
