Lynch tops table after fourth-place finish in Monte Carlo

TIPPERARY show jumper Denis Lynch put himself top of the Global Champions Tour leaderboard on Saturday, when he placed fourth in Monte Carlo.

The 32-year-old, riding Nabab’s Son, was one of only four to produce a double clear and earn a place in the third-round jump-off.

While the German-based rider went on to produce the fastest time, it came at a cost of eight faults. However, compensation came with the €23,000 he pocketed in a competition won by American Richard Spooner on Cristallo.
