Jack Hume misses cut but still eyes Walker Cup call-up

Naas amateur Jack Hume might have missed the cut in his first professional event but he’s gained confidence for a crucial summer run that could earn him a Walker Cup call up.

The 21-year old won last year’s West of Ireland after a stellar underage career that saw him win all four provincial Boys titles in the same year.

And while he added a 73 to his opening 75 to miss the cut by a single shot on six over, he left Royal County Down feeling more positive than ever about his game and his future.
