Murphy's law - Pete lifts Arthur Mayne Cup

PETE Murphy belied his pension age to produced the winning score and lift the Arthur Mayne Cup at County Armagh.

In the stableford competition for over 65s, Pete's 41 points was two better than the rest of the field on the day. An impressive 22 points were racked up over the front nine holes where he birdied the par three third hole. And a further 19points on the back nine, where a second birdie was recorded on the par five 12th hole, secured the coveted trophy for Pete.

Young-at-heart Danny Maxwell was his nearest challenger scoring 39 points for his round. By the turn he had chalked up 18 points, but some fine par scoring on the homeward trek saw him add a further 21 points for an impressive finish.
