Mark Staunton carded a second round 67 to win the Shell Pro-Am at Carne Golf Links, just days before he appears in the Irish Open at Fota Island.
The Delgany GC based professional finished the tournament with a four-under-par 138, edging out his closest rival Peter Martin (Colin Park Golf Academy).
Brendan McGovern (Headfort GC), David Ruddy (Cahir Park GC) and Colm Moriatry (Glasson Hotel and Golf Club) finished on two-under.
Moriarty led over night following his opening round 66, but he struggled on day two, signing for a second round three-over 74.
Staunton, a former Irish Order of Merit winner, was tied for eighth at the start of the day's play following an opening round 71. He made a fast start to his round yesterday, with a birdie at the first and added three more birdies on the front nine, going to the turn in four under 31.
He dropped a shot at the par-three 14th but birdied the par-three 16th to come home in level-par 36.
