Galway Bay Golf Club's Eddie McCormack emerged victorious after a dramatic final day at Kinsale Golf Club in the Irish Senior Men’s Amateur Close Championship.
McCormack, who finished runner-up at Lough Erne last year, went one better this time around, with a composed final one under par round of 71 that featured superb putting and a decisive eagle on the final hole.
Once more, testing conditions made scoring difficult on the West Cork course, but McCormack’s experience and excellent short game proved crucial. A tightly fought contest saw little margin between the leaders all day, but the Galway native held his nerve to edge clear and secure the title.
Eddie spoke to Tommy Devane about his win.
