Sara Byrne could not ask for a better situation to be in as she tackles the first major event of her final summer before turning professional, in this week’s Women’s Amateur Championship at Portmarnock.

Already signed up as Dromoland Castle’s touring pro for when she leaves the amateur game behind this September, hopefully signing off with a place on the GB & Ireland team at the Curtis Cup, the Douglas GC golfer feels she has all the foundations in place for a freewheeling final lap as an amateur, starting with one of her favourite championships.
