Annabel Dimmock beat Pauline Bouchard in a play-off to win the Women's Irish Open at Carton House on Sunday.
English player Dimmock carded a three-under 70 in the final round to finish on 19 under alongside France's Bouchard, who fired a superb 65.
Dimmock, 27, secured the title with victory on the second play-off hole.
"I am a bit shell-shocked at the minute," said Dimmock, whose mother is from Cork.
"I am standing here and I think I am in a dream, honestly. This is pretty cool to do it in Ireland."
Dimmock, who previously won the Jabra Ladies Open in 2019, added: "I have worked really hard to get myself back. It is not just me, there are a lot of people on my team.
"There is a lot that goes in to getting me back fit, a lot of blood, sweat and tears. It has not been easy for my family and everyone around me, but we've made it back."
The pair finished a shot clear of Finland's Ursula Wikstroem with Chiara Tamburlini of Switzerland on 17 under.
Home favourite Leona Maguire posted her best round of the tournament with a 68, leaving her 10 under.
England's Georgia Hall also shot a 68 to finish level with Maguire in joint 15th.
