The European Club is a relentless test of golfing excellence, but while Peter O'Keeffe dropped three shots in his last two holes to find himself four shots off the lead he's looking forward to seeing the wind blow over the weekend as he chases a rare double in the Flogas Irish Amateur Open Championship.

Favourite to wrap up the Bridgestone Order of Merit having claimed the AIG Irish Amateur Close and the Munster Strokeplay titles earlier this summer, the Douglas star is also looking to become just the seventh player to win the Irish Close and Irish Open titles in the same year.
