Lahinch all set for South of Ireland shoot-out
The victory for the 23-year-old Tullamore golfer in last year’s championship played a major part in his inclusion in the B&I team for a match, seen as a major springboard towards selection in next year’s Walker Cup match.
This is a clear indication of the important role Ireland’s oldest provincial championship plays in the promotion of a young amateur’s career, so it is not surprising that the entry for this week’s “South” is one of the strongest for a number of years.
