Robert Brazill ready to burn rubber on Bridgestone circuit

Happiness for some is a long walk with a putter. But for West of Ireland champion Robert Brazill, few things match the thrill of ripping a drive a mile — especially if he’s trying to beat a souped-up track car down the straight at Mondello Park.

The 22-year-old Naas ace is one of the longest players in the Irish squad and he was more than a match for a Turbocharged BMW M2 when he tested his ball speed against the car as Bridgestone announced the renewal of its sponsorship of the GUI’s men’s and boy’s Order of Merit races for 2019.
