Ebihara’s generous to a tee

Generous Seiji Ebihara became the first man to make a successful defence of the AIB Irish Seniors Open title when he closed with a two under par 70 for a two-shot win over England’s Denis Durnian at Adare, Co Limerick.

The 53 year-old from Japan, making his first competitive appearance since becoming a grandfather in March, won last year’s title when he birdied the last two holes at Powerscourt.
