Local star Sugrue awaits Open invite

HOMETOWN pro Daniel Sugrue is still sweating on the final available invitation to next week’s Irish Open, presented by Discover Ireland 2011.

Seven invitations have already been issued to the prestigious European Tour event, which starts at Killarney Golf & Fishing Club next Thursday.

Already on the entry list as invitees is Scott Pinckney, the US amateur and childhood friend of Rory McIlroy who is a leading collegiate golfer at Arizona State University and played in last month’s US Open.
