Golf-Kjeldsen ends long drought with Irish Open win
NEWCASTLE, Northern Ireland, May 31 (Reuters) - Soren Kjeldsen ended a six-year victory drought to become the third Danish winner of the Irish Open, capturing a fourth career title with a birdie at the first extra playoff hole on Sunday.
The 40-year old went into the last day at the Royal County Down course leading by two shots but saw that disappear when commencing his round with back-to-back bogeys.
Kjeldsen then slipped further behind with a double bogey at the eighth before coming to the last hole and holing a short par putt to join England's Eddie Pepperell (69) and Austrian Bernd Wiesberger (73) in a playoff following the Dane's round of a five-over-par 76 for a two under par total.
