A PGA Tour start is on the horizon for overjoyed Kinsale golfer John Murphy after the Ireland international was honoured with US College golf’s prestigious Byron Nelson Award for 2020.

The University of Louisville senior, who will return to the States for another year of collegiate golf in the autumn, said he could not be happier to have received the award, one of the perks of which is an exemption into the PGA Tour’s AT&T Byron Nelson tournament in Dallas, Texas next May.
