England's Simon Dyson outduels Australia's Richard Green to win Irish Open

Simon Dyson of England won the Irish Open by a stroke Sunday, capitalizing on a poor approach shot by Richard Green of Australia on the final hole.Dyson was trailing by a shot when he birdied the 17th to draw even. His round of 4-under 67 left him 15-under 269 for the tournament. Dyson finished ninth at the British Open two weeks ago and called his play in the Irish Open "probably the best golf I've ever played."Green all but handed Dyson the victory when his approach on the 18th led to a three-putt bogey, only his second of the day. He finished at 68 for a 14 under total."You always feel sorry for somebody when that happens," Dyson said. "I'd much prefer to win it with a birdie. But I'll take what I can get."Scotland's Stephen Gallacher was third after a 68 left him at 12 under.With the victory, Dyson qualified for next week's World Golf Championship in Akron, Ohio. He received the Waterford Crystal winner's trophy from Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny and $360,000.More than 20,000 fan...
