Tour card the focus at Fota
THE goal of a European Challenge Tour card will be the incentive for most of the PGA EuroPro Tour field at Fota Island today when some of Ireland and Britain’s brightest and most ambitious talents play their opening rounds at the Audi Cork Irish Masters.
Professional tournament play returns to the venue a decade on from its staging of the first Irish Open to great acclaim in 2001 on the original Deerpark layout when the Belvelly course comes into play for the 54-hole strokeplay event on European golf’s third-tier tour.
