Graeme McDowell has announced that he is engaged to Kristin Stipe.
The 2010 US Open Champion popped the question to his American girlfriend two weeks ago.
The 33-year-old told the Irish Independent: "I did it properly, getting down on one knee
"She had no idea what was going on and was shocked and stunned. I even found myself getting a little bit emotional.
"Kristin's a great girl and both my family and hers are delighted with the news."
McDowell proposed to the interior designer at the top of the Burj Al Arab Hotel in Dubai.
The pair met when McDowell hired Stipe's company to work on his home in Orlando.
