Golf in St. Paul’s
DUBLINER Niall Kearney completed a magnificent weekend for Irish golf when he stormed to the English Open strokeplay title for the Brabazon Trophy at Moortown, Leeds yesterday.
His convincing success came just hours after fellow international Shane Lowry stunned the world of professional golf by winning the '3' Irish Open at County Louth.
Kearney, a 20-year-old former Irish Boys champion from Royal Dublin, posted a 54-hole aggregate of 208 to stroll to a five-stroke victory over England's Liam Burns from Sundridge Park with Welsh international Joe Vickery a further stroke back in third spot.
The Senior Golf Team has qualified in two competitions for the next round.
