Rory McIlroy’s triumph at his home country’s Irish Open turned into a celebratory family affair.
McIlroy, 36, defeated Joakim Lagergren on the third playoff hole at The K Club in Kildare, Ireland on Sunday, September 7, roughly 120 miles south of the golfer’s hometown of Holywood.
After securing the victory — which came after McIlroy sank a 27-foot eagle putt on the 18th hole to force the playoff — the golfer was joined by his wife, Erica Stoll, and their 5-year-old daughter, Poppy.
“I feel just so lucky that I get to do this, I get to do this in front of these people,” McIlroy said after the tournament. “The support has been absolutely amazing all week.”
