Sharvin top Close qualifier

Cormac Sharvin (Ardglass) won the Silver Medal as leading qualifier in the AIG sponsored Irish Amateur Close Championship at Connemara GC yesterday when he shot a six under par 66 in the second round.

Added to his opening round of 70, the Sport Studies student at the University of Stirling, finished the 36 holes on 136, one shot ahead of Tuam’s Damien Coyne to lead the top 64 players into matchplay.

“I am feeling good, my game is in great shape” Sharvin declared. “I have barely missed a shot for two days. I holed a few putts this afternoon; that was the difference from the previous day. ”
