Colm Campbell, Jack Hume and John-Ross Galbraith to play Irish Open at the K Club

Newly crowned Flogas Irish Amateur Open champion Colm Campbell is one of three amateurs chosen to compete at this month’s Dubai Duty Free Irish Open at the K Club.

Campbell, from Warrenpoint, Naas GC’s Jack Hume, and Whitehead’s John-Ross Galbraith were the three picks by the Golfing Union of Ireland to represent its elite amateurs at the European Tour event, which gets under way in nine days near Straffan, Co Kildare.

The GUI receives three playing invitations each year from the Tour for its leading amateurs to compete with the professionals with Campbell, 29, hoping to carry the sparkling form he showed at Royal Dublin over the weekend into the K Club.
