McGovern gets win number 10 at Shannon

Brendan McGovern chalked up his tenth win of the season when he topped the leaderboard after the 36-holes €23,000 Shell-backed Dr William Flynn Memorial pro-am tournament at Shannon.

McGovern, winner of the PGA Southern Branch Championship at Arklow last June, leaped from joint second place overnight to post a two-under-par 70 for a three-under total of 141 and a one-stroke lead over Damian Mooney from Laganview.
