Richard Finch just won The Irish Open in spectacular fashion!

On the 18th, he has a 3 shot lead. Hit's his par-5 lay-up into the hazard but above ground. The hazard being the River Maigue. He elects to go for the green - smashes the ball over the river while falling right in, boots and all.

Amazingly - he never takes his eye off the ball, and it lands on the left edge of the massive green. The crowd acknowledge the bravery and talent displayed and he receives a great applause. 3 putts later he's the Irish Open Champion.

Move over Woody Austin.

I hear where you are coming from, but Woody Austin is Aquaman.

We got to be more original and come up with a different nickname for this guy...something like...Splash Gordon

it was a good dive by finch but until he breaks a putter over his head, he is not in woody's class

They will beat their swords into golf clubs and their spears into putters. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore. Old Tom Morris 2:4

Did you see that guy that won the Irish Open fall in the lake after he hit that shot !

Eventually, I'll get the hint and stop advertising, which is against the rules.

That guy went on to win it as well. I'm sure he's not too bothered about a bit of fresh Irish water as he won the comp and probably has done enough to secure his card for next year.

That was a tough shot and I think he had to give up his balance to be assured of making good contact. I don't think he could have released the club head through the ball on that steep slope and avoided falling.

he said he thought he could pull it off without fallling in the water - fearless!

made it all the more exciting when he did fall!

brilliant - more of the same next year! What a great closing 3 holes! the 16th modelled on Augusta's 12th, the 17th a tight long par 4 and the 18th beside and over a river - great design.

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Got told off yesterday for doing full swings and full speed swings so went to the range this lunchtime and did some slow speed stuff and freezers. A few videos from my session.    First few are DTL then some FO This one is of me looking at the club on the way back. I think I get my arms lifting all the way back, not that you’d know because YouTube keeps glitching on me.    Second one is two slow backswings. This glitches the first one but the glitch looks like a pretty good position so I’ll live. Second one works. Then another swing back and hit. When I’m not watching or really focusing on it it seems that my upper arm doesn’t lift at first, rather stays roughly where it is and I add the lift at the end so the club comes a bit more inside. I think that’s what I’m going to focus on. This one glitches a bit too but it’s really just pausing. This shows the club coming a bit more inside but not as laid off at the top Then a couple of face on ones And lastly one smoothie and one freezer at normal speed  Quite happy with how this went. I can see my arms are better when I take it slower. Also while I’m still pitching my arms out it doesn’t seem to be as extreme as yesterday. Light at the end of the tunnel 🙂
