Scotland's Russell Knox is the winner of this year's Dubai Duty Free Irish Open in Ballyliffin golf club, Donegal.
Coming out on top in a two-man playoff with the New Zealander Ryan Fox, Knox showed tremendous calmness and composure to sink a very, very long putt on the 18th.

Wow! Russell Knox makes 50-footer from same spot at 18th hole in playoff to win Irish Open. Fox short birdie putt lips out. SCTop 10 highlight for sure.

Incredibly, Knox had hit a near-identical shot on the same 18th hole to finish off his round initially. Although Fox would invariably bring it to a playoff, this was an equally spectacular effort.
What a putt. What a reaction!@RooKnox takes the clubhouse lead at -14.#DDFIrishOpen #RolexSeries pic.twitter.com/HiyWDFELr1
