McNamara best in Cork test
MONKSTOWN professional Cian McNamara beat freezing conditions to claim the Munster PGA winter series event at Cork Golf Club.
The former Junior Open and South of Ireland champion shot a oneunder-par 71 for his second win of the series, turning in two-under par thanks to birdies at the second, third and eighth.
His only bogey on the front nine came at the index one-fourth and while he also bogeyed the 10th, he finished with eight pars to win the Cobra-Puma sponsored event by a stroke from Waterville’s David Higgins.
Former European Tour player Higgins also teamed up with his brother Brian and father Liam to win the team prize.
