Irwin has come close before but to the World Championship instead of the
World Series. He lost out to Bernie Smith in the Oceanic Masters last year with Smith going forward from that final.
He defeated Lucas Busby, Craig Ross and finally the experienced Warren French in qualification and will join the likes of Cody Harris and Kyle Anderson in the line up in Auckland.
