England's Ross Fisher won the 3 Irish Open in record-equalling style at Killarney - despite a thrilling late challenge from home favourite Padraig Harrington.

From three behind Harrington might have thought a closing seven under par 64 would seal his national title for the second time in four years.

But Fisher, pupil of Putting Coach Phil Kenyon, having lost the six stroke lead he held in the third round, responded with a 65 to take his fourth European Tour title by two.

The 29 year old's 266 aggregate, 18 under par, matched the tournament record set nine years ago by Colin Montgomerie - and with it Fisher climbs all the way from 13th to sixth in the race for places in Montgomerie's Ryder Cup Team.

When interviewed on Sky Sports by commentator Tim Barter, Fisher commented on how the work he has done with Putting Coach Phil Kenyon had helped him return to winning ways. He now heads into the Bridgestone Invitational (next week) and then the final Major of the season, the US PGA Championship (the weeks after) with renewed confidence.

The tournament leaderboard had very much a 'HSPSE' feel to it on the Sunday with pupils Chris Woods, Michael Hoey, Joost Luiten and Richie Ramsey all finishing in the top 10.
