Inside Golf: Niall Turner could prove to be spectacular late bloomer

Niall Turner feared his career would be cut short by injury not once but three times in the last four years.

Now, following his impressive fifth-place finish in the Venetian Macao Open on the Asian tour on Sunday, the 32-year old Corkman believes his career can finally start all over again.

The past few years have been a nightmare for the Muskerry Golf Club talent, who first rose to fame in 2007 when he reached the final of the Irish Amateur Close Championship at Cork Golf Club only to fall to current world No 18 Shane Lowry by 4&3.
