I’d play again tomorrow - if I didn’t have the Junior Cert, says Senior Scratch Cup champ

FIFTEEN-year-old Fionn Hickey put the Junior Cert to the back of his mind to shoot a two under 69 and claim his maiden Senior Scratch Cup on Saturday at Muskerry Golf Club in Cork.

The local member birdied two of his last four holes to win by a single shot.

With the course playing tricky, the first round leader on 69 was Tralee’s Eoin Goggin but Hickey and fellow Muskerry man Jack Egan were hot on his heels, both shooting level par.
