Rasmus Højgaard Beats Rory McIlroy to the Title | Final Round Highlights | 2024 Amgen Irish Open

Rasmus Højgaard birdied four of his final five holes to beat Rory McIlroy to the 2024 Amgen Irish Open title at Royal County Down.


The DP World Tour heads to Ireland this week as Royal County Down hosts the Irish Open for the first time in almost a decade. Four-time major winner and world no. 3 Rory McIlroy is in the field for his home event. He’s claimed two individual victories this year with wins at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic on the DP World Tour in January and the Wells Fargo Championship on the PGA TOUR in May. The Northern Irishman has won this event before after claiming victory at the K Club in 2016. Robert MacIntyre will also be in Ireland this week. The world no. 16 has risen 44 places from 60th at the start of the season. He’s claimed two victories this year with both being on the PGA TOUR - at the RBC Canadian Open and on home soil at the Genesis Scottish Open in July. Both those wins, coupled with three other top tens, helped him reach the season-ending TOUR Championship at East Lake, finishing tied 16th. Shane Lowry will fancy his chances at his home tournament this week. He’s claimed seven top-10s this year including a victory at the Zurich Classic playing alongside Rory McIlroy. Others to look out for are Nicolai Højgaard, Erik Van Rooyen, Ryan Fox and Luke Donald.

I think it would be better to not name the winner in the title

Imagine making an effort to edit an entire recap of the conclusion of an epic tournament and then spoiling the winner in the title, showing only one side of the battle and misnaming the video 'final round highligts' while only Højgaard's shots were shown. DP tour has been doing this for years as well... such a shame

[siheath]

Outrageous chip in on 10, followed by an extremely fortunate bounce on 14 to a few feet, then a holed bunker shot on 17th... it was written!

[paweslusarczyk]

Thanks for the spoiler in the title… I was just watching the replay and got this notification spoiling the results

[riccardorinaldo]

@DPWorldTour: If you read this, we viewers are begging you NOT to put the winner in the thumbnail and title. You are spoiling it for all of us. Please stop

[teejay]

Well played Rasmus. A true gentleman 👏

[Robrob]

The DP World Tour were banking on Rory to win the tournament and if he did, this video would have been ‘Rory McIlroy Round 4 Highlights’, just like the other 3 days.

[C-Weegs]

Man…. Rasmus’ swing is nice! Those irons are pure!

[colindeans]

What a pleasant young man, congrats on the win.

[juliangretz]

Talk about all the good breaks! What a win!

[drlongwind]

Been waiting eagerly to see the last round and now I don't have to. Everything I need to know in the thumbnail and title. Would have liked to have watched the final day's play unfold and have a mini experience of the tension of competitive golf, but you've saved me a lot of time here. I can now just have an instantaneous "Darn!" moment that passes just as quickly and not watch it at all. Thanks!

[markgoulding]

No Rory highlights? They are furious he lost 😂

[gregsaan]

Wheres the full round highlights of McIlroy today? 😜

[jatojo]

I like highlight videos that have a little bit of everything in them - from the worst shots to the best. That's what golf is about. Those videos where you only see putt-in-the-hole, putt-in-the-hole, putt-in-the-hole are so dull.

I love Rory games but he not win match the reason behind him he doesn't want to change his caddie when he change i am 100% sure he can win more tournament.

Royal County Down looking great and a lovely clear day to see the wonderful Mourne mountains.

[craigsaddington]

people hating on rory, yet when hes in the ryder cup it will be a different story.

[troyingram]

Oh, so there is other people playing in the tournament worthy of some highlights?

[BartmanSA]

Rory fell out of favour in the highlights pretty quick. Disappointing that there was not highlights of all the players. I don't think we want to see only one player's highlights. Taking nothing away from Rasmus. Top man.

Des commentaires nuls . Rory s’est battu jusqu’au bout et félicitations à ce jeune Hejgaard qui a été surprenant et très efficace.
