All the key moments from the final day of the GolfSixes at Centurion Golf Club.

Ireland's Gavin Moynihan partnered Paul Dunne to victory in the second edition of GolfSixes.

Moynihan, 23, who has not made a halfway cut in eight events this season, chipped in for a birdie on the first play-off hole to secure victory over South Korea in the semi-finals at the Centurion Club in St Albans.

The Irish pair then made three birdies and an eagle in the space of five holes to beat France's Romain Wattel and Mike Lorenzo-Vera 2-0 in the final to secure the first prize of 100,000 euros each.

"It's unbelievable," said Moynihan. "It's been a great week for both of us. To get it done today means a lot when
you're representing Ireland.

"The course set up well for us and we had fun. It was the best fun I've had on a golf course since turning professional and a great few days.

"Our flight's in two hours so we're not making that, so we'll be booking a new one for tomorrow with probably a hangover!"

Dunne, who played alongside Moynihan in a record Walker Cup victory in 2015 and won his first European Tour title in the British Masters last year, said he thought the tournament was "fun" but it became more serious when the "tricolour is beside your name".
