‘Significant’ win for Turner

Muskerry golfer Niall Turner has pulled off a significant victory on the Asian Development Tour in Jakarta as he battles back from an unfortunate run of illness and injury that have restricted his development in the pro ranks.

Turner, 30, has been out of action for much of the last 18 months due to a series of hip injuries. An attack of heat stroke in a tournament in Malaysia also forced an extended spell away from the game.

But everything clicked into place over the Imperial Club course in Jakarta as he finished ten under par with rounds of 72, 70, 68 and 69 for his first win as a professional in Asia.
