Super Sunday Seven Under for Ryan McGettigan
Sunday's Members comp in Portsalon saw Ryan McGettigan navigating his way around the course in a seven-under par round of 65 after nine birdies on his card.
He hit the ground running with a birdie at the first, but surrendered it immediately at the second. Further gains were made at the fourth, seventh and eighth to reach halfway in just 33 strokes, four below the card.
On his inward nine there were birdies at 11, 14, 16 and 17, with just a single dropped shot at the 13th, ensuring a round of 65 and a stableford score of 44 points playing off a handicap of one. An incredible bit of planting, by any measure, and a fine way to celebrate the first weekend of his 30s!
