Late comers win Open 4-ball Classic

Whether playing later to avoid the heat of the day was a tactical decision, it proved a winning one for Paul Corvan, Leo King, Gary Lappin and Stephen McGarvey in the Open 4-Ball Classic competition at Armagh on Saturday.

The four-ball who only took to the course late afternoon amassed a huge 102 points to win the event sponsored by Bunzl McLaughlin, Armagh.

Brendan Smyth, Patrick Brannigan, Pat Brannigan and Mervyn Watts would surely have  believed they had bagged the winning score with a 101 points return, but it was enough only to earn them second prize.

Declan Lenagh, Tom Calvert and the Wasson brothers Paul and Michael were just a further point adrift on 100 points.
