“I’m hoping to bring a good swing up with me and put myself in a good position going into the last day,” said Nolan.

Liam Nolan has been labelled as the one to watch at this weekend’s Irish Men’s Amateur Close Championship but rather than being fazed by that tag, he’s relishing it.

Ireland’s leading male amateur golfers will tee off at Belfast’s Malone Golf Course this Friday for day one of the AIG sponsored championship and Nolan, who is a member of Galway Golf Club close to his home, could hardly be in better form.
