Rasmus Hojgaard produced a remarkable finish to snatch a one-shot win at the Amgen Irish Open , as Rory McIlroy failed to close out victory on home soil. McIlroy took a one-shot lead into the final day at Royal County Down and briefly increased his lead to four strokes, only for Hojgaard to charge into contention with four birdies in his last five holes.
Hojgaard - playing two groups ahead of McIlroy - was level par for his round until he birdied the ninth and chipped in to add another at the par-three next, although his hopes appeared to be in doubt when he cancelled out a birdie at the 12th by bogeying the next.
