Reigning champion Keith Egan (Carton House) will look to become the first player since Rory McIlroy to go back-to-back at the Connolly Motor Group West of Ireland this weekend.

The 32-year-old will look to emulate The Masters champion, who won his first title at this venue in 2005, and become only the third man in recent history to complete this unique double.
