Graeme Storm was unable to hit the heights in the European Open in Ireland over the weekend - finishing down the leaderboard after a poor Saturday.

After achieving his first aim and making Friday's cut, the winner of last week's French Open was unable to maintain his form.

A disappointing 74 on Saturday - he hit four bogeys - was improved on today, as the Hartlepool golfer, who plays out of The Wynyard Club, shot a 67.

Birdies on 10, 11, 12 and 14 lifted him up the leaderboard and a four-round 275. He secured a prize of around £14,000 to go with the winner's cheque of almost £450,000 picked up seven days previous.

The event was won by Colin Montgomerie, who ended on 269 after a final round 65.
