England's Ross Fisher got his act back together to lead the 3 Irish Open by three with eight holes to play in Killarney today.
Six strokes clear during his third round, Fisher fell back from 16 under par to 11 under and was overtaken by Australian Richard Green and home favourite Padraig Harrington.
But then came a stunning, 18-foot putt for an eagle on the long seventh and birdies at the ninth and 10th to put him back on course for the first prize of nearly £416,000 - and a rise from 13th to sixth in the Ryder Cup race.
After 11 holes Harrington was sharing second spot with Spain's Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano and Fisher's compatriot Chris Wood, while Green was one further back.
