Dillon wins at Waterford Castle

-

JOE Dillon carded a five-under par 67 to win the Waterford Castle Pro-Am title and claim his second victory in his last four starts.

The Headfort profession­al held off Damian Mooney and Michael McGeady by one stroke at the Des Smyth and Declan Branigan design.

“It was my first visit to the Waterford Castle and I was very impressed,” said Joe. “I felt sharp after performing pretty well in a recent Europro tour outing. I feel there are a number of low scores to come if things keep going.”

With a shot-gun start in operation Joe began his round at the par five 13th and collected seven birdies in total, his two dropped shots coming at the 12th and 14th.

Castleward­en’s Mark Whelan and amateur partners Ray Hurley, Mary Mulcahy and Paul Power won the team prize with 96 points
