O’Sullivan in positive frame of mind for Irish Seniors

GIVEN the extremely poor record of the home players in the Irish Open on the regular tour, one might have thought our contingent on the seniors circuit would be similarly pressurised when it came to their own national championship.

However, Denis O'Sullivan, one of the leading contenders for the 330,000 AIB Irish Seniors Open beginning today at the magnificent Adare Hotel and Golf Resort in Co Limerick, doesn't see things in that light.

O'Sullivan has taken to life as a professional like a duck to water over the past five years during which he has accumulated 560,000 in prize money and won five tournaments.
