James Sugrue leads by three holes in British Amateur Championship final

Mallow’s James Sugrue takes a healthy three-hole advantage into the final 18 holes of his British Amateur Championship final clash with Scotland’s Euan Walker at Portmarnock this afternoon.

Boosted by massive support from his home club – who withdrew from an Irish Senior Cup engagement over the week-end so that his teammates and as many members as possible could attend the final – the 22 year-old made light of the considerable pressure involved in such a major encounter to stand in command of the outcome at the break.
