David Murphy seals the deal in final quarter to secure title
Murphy opened with a tremendous shot to lead by 80 metres, but Mackle stormed back to lead by two metres on the second.
Both men rounded the orchard corner in four, with Mackle six metres ahead. Murphy gained valuable distance up the hill to lead on six shots past the ‘long lane’ by a margin of 55 metres, before stretching it to 120 metres after seven shots. It was then that some truly spectacular shots were delivered. Mackle had a great shot on his eighth, but Murphy topped it into McCusker’s Cottage.
