Cormac Sharvin: ‘You can get very lonely very easily’

A year ago Cormac Sharvin was one of a record-breaking five-strong Irish contingent that helped Britain & Ireland defeat USA in the Walker Cup at Royal Lytham St Annes. A product of Ardglass, Sharvin completed a golf scholarship at the University of Stirling and, having turned professional after the Walker Cup success with ambitions to earn his full European Tour card at the earliest opportunity, he is currently finding his way on the European Challenge Tour.

Q: How are you coping with life on the Challenge Tour?

A: I’ve been playing nicely tee to green for the past six weeks. I wouldn’t say I’ve been struggling with my putting but I certainly haven’t been holing as many as I should have, missed a few short ones and it’s definitely been something that’s holding me back a little bit. I’ve been shooting one under when it should have been five under, things like that.
