Jamie Donaldson wins his first title on the European Tour with a four-shot victory at the Irish Open.

Welshman Jamie Donaldson has won his first European Tour title with victory at the Irish Open.

The 36-year-old hit eight birdies in a final round of 66 to end four shots ahead of the chasing pack on 18-under-par at Royal Portrush.

Anthony Wall, Fabrizio Zanotti and Rafael Cabrera-Bello all took a share of second place.

"I'm buzzing and I'm so happy to have won on this course - I don't think we have played a better one on the European Tour," Donaldson told Sky Sports News.

"It feels a bit surreal to be honest. I don't think it will sink in till later."

Elsewhere, Padraig Harrington finished tied for seventh on 12-under while Rory McIlroy ended a disappointing week one shot further back.
