Rory McIlroy wins second Irish Open with play-off triumph over Joakim Lagergren

Rory McIlroy won his second Irish Open title with a thrilling play-off victory over Joakim Lagergren.

The world number two and Masters champion had to eagle the 72nd hole just to take it to a play-off after Lagergren’s own stunning eagle at the 16th.

After the first two extra holes were tied in birdie fours, Lagergren found the water hazard third time around to allow McIlroy to win it with two putts.
