​Jack Patton wins Portsalon Scratch Cup
Jack Patton was the overall winner of the Portsalon Scratch Cup on Saturday after he signed for a four-under par round of 68.
Conditions were fair, with sunshine breaking out from early afternoon onwards, and Jack laid early foundations with five straight pars before his first birdie of the round came at the tough sixth. Three more steady pars saw him make the turn at one-under.
Birdies at holes 10 and 11 had him in pole position and, after the only dropped shot in his round at the par-three 12th, further gains were picked up at the 16th and 17th to help him on his way to a 68 and a two-shot win from Padraig O'Dochartaigh (70) in second spot.
The Nett section was won by Eunan McGarrigle (9) with a 69 nett, two clear of Ultan McGettigan on 71.
In the Intermediate Scratch Cup the top prize went to Philip Durning (10) with a fine eight-over par round of 80. He made an excellent start to his round, parring the first three, and got to the turn in three-over par. On the inward nine, there were three pars to start once more and a run of three closing bogeys kept runner-up Joe Coyle (82) at bay to the tune of two strokes.
In the nett section, Johnny Gallagher (17) came out on top with a score of 66, three clear of Andy Boland in second spot.
Thanks once more to our sponsors Manor Motors Opel and to all that played in the Portsalon Scratch Cup 2023.
