Liam Nolan will soon begin the final year of his Bio-Medical engineering course and while he is measured when it comes to sinking a vital putt late on in a round, he is even more assured when it comes to his future.

“No, I think my time in college is coming to an end after next year,” insists the University of Galway student with a small chuckle because he knows once he has the degree stowed away safely in his back pocket, he can truly focus on his main ambition.
