Rahm had a one-shot lead heading into the final day's action at the Royal Portstewart golf course.

Over 70,000 people had been through the doors in Portstewart by Saturday night, with the final figure still being totted up on Sunday.

Michael Hoey was the only local player to make the cut and ended up placing 30th on -11.
