SIMON Dyson’s high-five European conquest enabled the York-born golfer to gatecrash a world event this week – to the unalloyed joy of his tearful parents, Ann and John.

From their Huntington home Dyson’s mum and dad watched entranced and apprehensive as he produced a magical finale to capture the Irish Open at the Killarney Golf and Fishing Club for his fifth European tour title in the last six years.

Dyson’s one-shot win from Australia’s Richard Green seized the crown and automatically guaranteed a place in this Thursday’s lucrative and ranking points-drenched World Golf Championship event in the United States, where he was today jetting out to play at the Akron course alongside the world’s best in Ohio.

The triumph could also signal a precious place in or around the top 50 in the world rankings, which were due out in their revised form today with the Malton & Norton GC ace certain to soar from his pre-Irish Open position of world number 67.

Dyson took the first prize of over £221,000 a fortnight after finishing ninth in The Open.

“It’s a shame you can’t bottle how you feel sometimes,” said Dyson.

“It’s amazing – it really is. The golf I’ve played this week is probably the best I’ve ever played.”

Two birdies in the final three holes for a closing 67 and 15-under-par total fired Dyson’s desire to return to the world’s top 50.

“That was the main aim after The Open,” he added. “I knew after that I could cut it with the guys in the majors and I was thinking if I keep swinging it as I am I’m going to give myself chances.”

Green led for most of the last day and was one ahead when he matched Dyson’s two-putt birdie on the long 16th.

Dyson, though, pitched to three feet at the next to draw level and then, having missed from nine feet for a third successive birdie on the last, saw Green send a near 60-footer ten feet past and miss the return.

“You always feel sorry for somebody when that happens,” added Dyson. “I would have much preferred to win it with a birdie, but I will take whatever I can get.”

After he showed an iron nerve to aid the collapse of principal rival Green, the 33-year-old Dyson delighted his parents.

Said John Dyson: “His mum and me were on edge as we watching the final few holes. So when he finally won it we were a bit emotional.

“You could see how much it meant to him and he deserved it after the way he has played in Ireland over the four days, especially the last few holes of the last round where he was always going for his shots and peppering the greens.

“Unlike Richard Green, Simon didn’t show any nerves – he didn’t buckle. He was solid all the way over the closing holes.”

Dyson senior revealed how Dyson’s coach, Pete Cowen, one of the world’s top coaches who had already flown to America for the Akron event with another of his protégés, world number two Lee Westwood, called him to salute the win.

“He said he and Lee were chuffed for Si and we also had a great call too from Si’s manager Chubby Chandler, who rang from Portugal to remind us how he said at Si’s wedding in December that he thought he could go on to be among the top 30 players in the world.”
