Irish Open Final Leaderboard: Rory McIlroy claims stunning victory at The K Club

It's been a hectic hour or so at The K Club, here's the current leaderboard ...

Hatton (-2)

Tyrrell Hatton started the day with high hopes of mounting a late charge for the title, but he's having a poor day in the rain. Four bogeys in an outward 38, and he's just found water with a woeful second to the 11th. That's a double-bogey, and he's back to 2-under-par.

McIlroy (-12)

Excellent stuff from the Masters champion at the long 4th. McIlroy manages to find the green with his second shot from an iffy lie in the semi-rough. He lags well from 40 feet and pops it in for birdie to move within three of the leader.

Hidalgo (-13), Saddier (-15), Lagergren (-13)

It's back-to-back bogeys for Hidalgo after he finds the greenside bunker with his tee shot at the 8th, from where he splashed out to just inside 20 feet and didn't get close with the par putt.

He slips back to -13 alongside RCB and Joakim Lagergren, who has birdied the 1st and 4th, while Saddier has started with three good pars and he's now two clear.

McIlroy (-11), Saddier (-15), Hildago (-14)

Rory pulls his tee shot to the short 3rd and he's very lucky to avoid the water, his ball embedding in the lush grass just a couple of yards from the hazard. He chips to six feet, and the putt finds the target to keep him at 11-under.

Back on the 2nd, a wayward tee shot from Hildago costs him a shot, and Saddier pars to find himself the outright leader once again.

Cabrera Bello (-13)

After his fabulous ace at the 3rd, Rafa Cabrera Bello almost makes another eagle at the long 4th after a superb fairway-wood to 12 feet. The putt is just short, but that's a birdie for the Spaniard and he's only two back

Cabrera Bello (-12)

Here's how Rafa Cabera Bello made his spectacular hole-in-one at the 3rd ...

McIlroy (-11)

What a putt from McIlroy on the 2nd green. After that clumsy bogey at the 1st, he biffs a perfect drive down the 2nd fairway only to come up 40 feet short with his approach.

It's a slow, uphill putt on a wet green, but he judges the pace and line to perfection and the fans love to see that. Back to 11-under, and four shots off the lead.

Hidalgo (-15), Saddier (-15)

Angel Hidalgo, who was on "59 watch" yesterday, almost holes his approach to the 1st and taps in to earn a share of the lead with Saddier, who makes a solid par.

McIlroy (-10)

Not the start McIlroy was hoping for. Despite a perfect tee shot, he pushed an 8-iron right of the green, and his chip came hot off the face and wandered around 8 feet past the hole.

His par putt shaved the left edge, and that's a bogey for the fan favourite.

Playing-partner Garcia-Heredia also drops a shot after three-putting from distance, and he slips to -11.

Lowry -6 (7), Hatton -6 (5)

Shane Lowry moves to 7-under as he converts his excellent tee shot at the short 8th, but Hatton is heading in the opposite direction. Back-to-back bogeys for the Englishman, and he slips to -5

McIlroy -11

Huge reception on the 1st tee for the Masters champion. The weather may be cool and wet, but there's nothing but warmth from the big galleries following the headline act today.

McIlroy begins at -11, just four shots off the lead, and it's a confident start as he finds the centre of the fairway with a smooth 3-wood.

Lowry and Hatton (-6)

It's not been the best of starts for Ryder Cup stars Shane Lowry and Tyrrell Hatton. Lowry is level for the day after 7 holes, although he's just knocked his tee shot to 4 feet at the 8th.

Hatton, a couple of holes behind, has just bogeyed the 5th and is +1 today, 6-under for the tournament.

There was some incredible golf on Saturday at The K Club, here are the top shots ...

Armitage -8 (64)

Marcus "The Bullet" Armitage began the final day with just a handful of players below him, but his superb 64 with two eagles and five birdies has propelled him 49 places up the leaderboard and into the top 10 ... for now!
