McGeady wins Irish PGA, now for Challenge Tour card

In a thrilling finish to the Cassidy Golf 103rd €30,000 PGA Irish Championship at Roganstown yesterday, Michael McGeady snatched the title by a whisker from Damian Mooney and Cian McNamara.

This morning the new champion flies out to Sandwich to, hopefully, add further success to his end-of-season glories as he bids to qualify for the PGA Challenge Tour. The big Derry man will play, tomorrow until Thursday, in the EuroPro Grand finals, with the top five finishers getting their EuroPro card for next season.

“Winning the Irish Championship is a fantastic boost heading for the EuroPro finals,” enthused Michael (35). “It would be a great double to add my Challenge Tour card to my Irish Championship title. This win is amazing for me as I have struggled recently.”
