Lyons hits shot of a lifetime

Great players hit great shots under pressure and Joe Lyons was thrilled to rifle a beauty to Westport’s 18th to give Galway AIG Senior Cup victory over Carton House.

In was the Connacht champions’ fourth Senior Cup success since 2006 and their second in three years and Lyons could not have been happier with the way he closed out the match against the veteran Westmeath man Dessie Morgan, firing a 182-yard seven-iron to 18 inches to seal a 3-2 win by two holes.
