Kevin Phelan and Gavin Moynihan up for Challenge at Mount Wolseley

Challenge Tour duo Kevin Phelan and Gavin Moynihan are hoping to take advantage of their precision and short game prowess when they enjoy “home” advantage in the €180,000 Volopa Irish Challenge hosted by Mount Wolseley Hotel Spa and Golf Resort next month.

The former Walker Cup players are well down the Challenge Tour rankings after a frustrating year battling the bombers in a weekly birdie-fest on the second tier circuit.

Both admit they have lacked consistency but also know they can excel on a tighter, more technical test such as Mount Wolseley, September 8-11, than they can on the weekly battle of the bombers.
