As the hole cards were revealed, the crowd went bananas, Carr once again picking up a monster with

turn was equally safe, and as the camera focused its attention on Carr, he blew out his cheeks, the realisation that he was just one card away from becoming the 2010 Irish Open finally settling in."Ace from space!" commanded the small army of Mitchell fans.
