James Sugrue through to final after Friday to remember at Portmarnock

Mallow’s James Sugrue is 36 holes away from an invite to the Open Championship after securing a spot in the final of British Amateur Championship at Portmarnock.

Mallow’s James Sugrue once again hit the high spots at Portmarnock Friday afternoon when he shocked the world ranked 7th player David Micheluzzi to reach tomorrow’s 36- hole final of the British Amateur Championship.

The 22-year-old is now one 36 hole match away from gaining invitations to next month’s Open Championship and next year’s US Open and Masters tournaments and join seven other Irish golfers to have captured the title.
