Another Lee Valley victory for Gary O’Flaherty

Cork GC’s Gary O’Flaherty claimed victory for the second time at the Lee Valley Senior Scratch Cup yesterday, finishing the 54-hole event in four-under par.

O’Flaherty, who finished on a total of 212 after a closing 71, won by two shots over Mallow’s James Sugrue, with Castletroy’s Andrew McCormack third, both on two-under par.

“The key today was don’t make any mistakes, stay in the hunt and see what happens next. Thirteen was a turning point for me. I chipped in for birdie and it got me back on track again. I played pretty solid, I didn’t make any big mistakes.
