O'Briain wins Peter Gregory Memorial Pro-Am
04/09/2015
Neil O'Briain fired a three-under-par round of 68 to win the Peter Gregory Memorial Pro-Am at Clandboye GC.
The Old Conna GC professional finished three shots ahead of Damien Mooney (Ballyliffin), Simon Thornton (Team Ireland), Neil Graham (Portstewart GC) and Ciaran Molloy (Blackwood GC).
The tournament was held to celebrate the life and service of the late Peter Gregory, the long-time professional at the Co Down venue who passed away in April after a short illness.
The 28-year-old O'Briain made a sluggish start to his round, going to the turn in one-over-par 36 courtesy of a single dropped shot at the par four third.
A birdie at the par five 12th got him back to level-par and he finished the round in style collecting birdies at the 15th, 16th and 18th to come home in four-under 32.
Knock's Ricky Whitford grabbed the team prize, finishing with 88 points, two points ahead of nearest rival Ciaran Molloy (Blackwood GC).
