Golf: Walker and Dwyer take top spot in PGA Centenary Foursomes

Dundalk professional Leslie Walker and Finian Dwyer from Celbridge Driving

Range dovetailed perfectly at St Margaret's yesterday to take top spot in

the PGA Centenary Foursomes Irish Qualifying section and book their place in

the final at Little Aston on October 16 and 17.

Two pairs won through to the final with Morgan O'Donovan (Harbour Point) and

David O'Sullivan (St Margaret's) the other Irish qualifiers on 73 - four

shots behind Walker and Dwyer who carded a four-birdie, one bogey

three-under-69.

The leaders birdies flew at the long 5th and 8th holes on the way out and

they penciled in a three at the par four 11th before their only mistake was

made at the short 13th. That, however, was balanced with yet another birdie

four, this time at the 16th hole.

Qualifiers:

69 (-3) - L Walker (Dundalk) & F Dwyer (Celbridge).

73 - M O'Donovan (Harbour Pt) & D O'Sullivan (St Margaret's).

Other Scores:

74 - D Kearney & G Madden (Galway DR), E Jones (K Club) & J Young

(Rosslare); G Burke (Curragh) & J Dignam (Slade Valley); J Parsons

(Blackwood) & A Johnston (Ballyclare); G Moss (Limerick Co) & D Keating

(Charleville).

75 - B Brown (Laytown & Bettystown) & J Kelly (The Ward); P Hanna

(Fortwilliam) & P Stevenson (Portadown).
