Champ Kind Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 By Bernie McGuire NEWCASTLE, Northern Ireland (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, who also qualified for the Open Championship thanks to the win, 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.
