Leading the Irish Open from the first round, Adrian Meronc held the lead and became the first Polish golfer to win on the European Tour. The 29-year-old carded a late 66 to fend off a thunderous comeback from New Zealander Ryan Fox, who moved from 15th to second after a 64 on Sunday. Meronc ends the tournament with 268 shots, 3 lengths ahead of Fox and 4 ahead of South African Tristan Lawrence. Peters and Thomas Detry lost out in a battle for the top positions on the Mount Juliet Estate Course in Thomastown. Peters dropped 19 places to finish 37th heading into the fourth and final round of the $6 million DP World Tour event in 19th place. After convincing days on Friday (67) and Saturday (69), Antwerp returned this time with a card of 73 (+1) on Sunday. A six-time winner on the European Circuit, he started with a double bogey on hole N.3 before suffering a fresh bogey on hole N.7. The second half of the day was better, with three birdies and a bogey, but not enough to keep his place. Finished 37th with a total of 282 shots (-6). Thomas Detry returned a final card of 70 (-2) after five birdies for two bogeys. The Brussels resident is tied for 58th, sharing 284 shots (-4).
