Watch:Knox holes monster putt on first play-off hole to win Irish Open
Scottish golfer lands a clutch putt at Ballyliffin.

On his last hole in regulation Russell Knox had a snaking 40-footer facing him at Ballyliffin. He needed to make it in order to reach a play-off with Ryan Fox. He abliged.
Then, on the first extra hole at the Irish Open, the 33-year-old faced a reamrkably similar putt in order to card a birdie. Again, he abliged. This time for the win.
The Scot fist pumped a la Tiger in his prime after his monstrous putt dropped, securing his second European Tour title.
MASSIVE.
