Six behind, but motivated Kehoe still eyes victory

JUSTIN KEHOE couldn’t be blamed if he hardly knew where he stood these days.

A few weeks ago, the 27-year-old Shinrone, Co Offaly, native was playing in one of the biggest golf tournaments in the world. Yesterday, he was battling his way through the wind and rain on the way to a 73 in the second round of the Challenge of Ireland on the European Challenge Tour at Glasson Golf and Country Club.

More often than not, though, he plies his trade on the Europro Tour, the ‘third division’ of professional golf on this side of the Atlantic.
