Adam breaks his duck in Rosslare following a bout of near-misses

ADAM Dunmore put a string of near misses behind him to grab his first win of the season in the Kelly’s Resort Rosslare Pro-Am.

The Bundoran pro (right), who has had two runner-up finishes among his seven top10 finishes this year – crafted a four-under-par 68 in blustery, wet conditions to claim victory by two strokes from Waterville’s David Higgins.

With a shotgun start in operation, Dunmore began his round at the 17th and collected five pars in a row before opening up with a four-birdie burst at the fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh.

He dropped his only shot of the day at the par-four 11th but responded with a birdie at the 13th to finish on four under.

Higgins made four birdies in his 70 with Carlow’s Damien McGrane, Royal Dublin’s Niall Kearney and Ardee’s and Ciaran Molloy tied for the third, a shot further back in an event which raises crucial funds for Wexford Hospice Homecare and St Patrick’s Special School in Enniscorthy.

Cahir Park’s David Ryan and amateur partners Niall Fortune, Cormac Quigley and John Somers grabbed the team prize with 91 points.
