TJ Ford produced a brilliant display of golf through the bag to win to 119th South of Ireland Championship at a sun-kissed Lahinch.

The 24-year old, who works in golf marketing, made seven birdies in an impressive display to beat Dun Laoghaire’s Alan Fahy 5&4 to become the first man from County Sligo Golf Club to win the Pierse Motors Volkswagen sponsored Championship.
