Hegarty snatches share of the lead

Jimmy Heggarty stormed in amidst the gathering dusk at Tullamore last night to snatch a share of the lead after the local clubs' annual pro-am tournament. Jimmy Bolger had sat on top of the leaderboard for hours at level par 70 but that score was matched by Heggarty.

The Spawell touring pro after two bogeys in the first three holes pencilled in a quad of birdies between the fourth and seven holes to turn in two-under-par 33 but then tossed away those two shots with back-to-back bogeys at the 10th and 11th holes.
