Six years after becoming the youngest Walker Cup player in history at the expense of Rory McIlroy, the 22 year old Englishman carded a closing 69 to finish on 13 under par at Prosper Golf Resort and claim his maiden professional win.

The Kells man, ranked 104th in the Race to Dubai standings and seeking just his second European Tour victory, carded a level par 72 in the third round to remain on six under par.

O’Hara shot a sparkling 65 and Fisher a 68 to lead by two shots on 10 under from Sweden’s Mikael Lundberg (72), India’s Gaganjeet Bhullar (64) and England’s Gary Boyd (70).

Fast forward two and a half weeks and the Dubliner leads the Czech Open by a stroke from close friend Damien Grane thanks to a bogey free, six under par 66 at the redesigned Prosper Golf Resort.

Ranked 64th in the Race to Dubai, Lawrie hit 12 of 14 fairways and took just 25 putts in an immaculate effort on a course where he was edged out for a second European Tour victory following a play-off with Sweden’s Peter Hanson just 12 months ago.
