Cannon wins maiden title

Laytown and Bettystown's Robbie Cannon captured his first amateur major when he beat Cork's Gary O'Flaherty 4 and 3 in the final of the South of Ireland Amateur Open at Lahinch today.

The 30-year-old Dubliner became the first player from the Co Meath club to win a provincial title since Declan Branigan lifted the East, West and Irish Close titles in 1981.
