Five years after he lost the South of Ireland final, Kildare man Keith Egan buried his demons to deny local hero David Brady and claim the Connolly Motor Group-sponsored West of Ireland Amateur Open Championship at Rosses Point.

“Finally,” the 31-year-strength and conditioning coach said after he followed a 3&2 semi-final win over Clandeboye’s Ross Latimer with another 3&2 win over County Sligo’s David Brady in the final.
