Mooney and Lunny share top spot at Naas

Damian Mooney (Ballyliffin) and home favourite Gavin Lunny (Nass Golf Club) shared first prize at the Naas Pro-Am.

Mooney and Lunny carded two-under-par rounds of 69 to finish one shot ahead of David Higgins (Waterville) at the Co Kildare venue.

Mooney, a recent winner at the Killeen Pro-Am, played his opening nine holes in one-under-par 35.

He dropped a shot at the 10^th, but bounced back with birdies at the 13^th and 15^th. Another dropped shot followed at the par-four 16^th before he wrapped up his round with a birdie at the last to come home in one-under 35.

Lunny meanwhile, left it late in his quest for the top. The 'home' professional was struggling on one-over-par after 14 holes before finishing in style, collecting birdies at the 15^th, 17^th and 18^th to come home in three-under 33.

Malahide's John Murray guided his amateur partners to victory in the team event with 91 points.
