Mednick gains first tour victory

Sweden's Adam Mednick comprehensively won the European Tour's inclement-weather-marred North West of Ireland Open at Ballyliffin Golf Club on Sunday when he closed with four-under 68 to finish five shots in front of the field on a seven-under 281

This after third-round leader Massimo Florioli had failed in his bid to make it three Italian victories in four years, crashing out of contention with a four-over 76.

Florioli's compatriot, veteran Costantino Rocco, the leader in rounds one and two, shot a par 72, but it was also not good enough to add a second North West of Ireland title to the first he won in 1999.

He finished third on two under, a shot behind second-placed Scot Andrew Coltart, who closed with a respectable three under 67 that indicated that the former Ryder Cup player is getting his career back on track.
