Quinn and Walton aim to bag birdies

FORMER Ireland striker Niall Quinn, now living in Co Kildare, may have a central role to play in the Smurfit European Open beginning at The K-Club tomorrow!

A more than useful ten handicapper, Quinn is on the bag of Ireland’s Philip Walton and the pair are quietly confident of a productive four days.

David Noble, well-known to scores of Munster rugby fans as McScrum, the man who sells red and white favours at home and all over Europe at Heineken Cup time, is Walton’s usual caddy but must take a secondary role on this occasion.
