In an incredible duel in the sun, Sean, leader from the first round with 41 points, kept his nerve throughout despite being put under enormous pressure by Michael who has won this competition on a number of previous occasions.

Conor Sutton was runner-up in the Connacht Under 18 Open Boys Championships which was held in Gort Golf Club between 3rd and 5th July. This is a significant achievement for one of our Juvenile members and a result that will form the foundation for many future successes for one of our most exciting prospects. The field consisted of 152 of the best young players in the country and beyond and to finish second from such an illustrious group speaks volumes for Conor's future potential. Conor opened his account with a 75 and followed this up with marvellous rounds of 71 and 69 for a total of 215, three shots behing the eventual winner J. Sugrue from Mallow. Congratulations to Conor on such a wonderful performance.
