Gary Hurley hoping for success on home terrain

Gary Hurley will look to make the most of home comforts when the European Challenge Tour returns to Ireland for the Volopa Irish Challenge hosted by Mount Wolseley Hotel Spa and Golf Resort.

The Waterford man has made a promising start in his first season on Europe’s top developmental tour, where he is currently the highest-placed Irish player in the Road to Oman Rankings.

A tied fourth place finish at the rain-affected Montecchia Open by Lyoness has been the 2015 Walker Cup winner’s best result in a season where he also finished tied 60th at the Dubai Duty Free Open Irish Open Hosted by the Rory Foundation. After teeing it up at The K Club in May, the 23 year old is relishing the chance to return to a course he knows well in Mount Wolseley.
