Putting key to McElroy’s bid for glory in the West

The 21-year old from Ballymena has made huge strides in recent seasons, finishing in the top 10 in Challenge Tour’s Northern Open Challenge Ireland at Galgorm Castle last year before making the final stage of the European Tour Qualifying School.
He was expected to take the plunge into the professional ranks following the British Amateur Championship at Royal Portrush and Portstewart in June but has shelved those plans in his bid to finally win one of the major amateur titles.
