Adare course a winner, says Harrington

THERE were many winners on the first day of the JP McManus pro-am at Adare Manor Hotel and Golf Resort yesterday.

And without doubt, the Robert Trent Jones senior designed course was chief among them.

True, South African Trevor Immelman shot a record eight under par 64 and red figures abounded but this time it was set up for a pro-am and as a result, the fairways were generously wide, the rough negligible and the pins for the most part were located in the middle of the greens.
