Three-way tie for first prize at Beaverstown Pro-Am

Glen Robinson (above), Colm Moriarty (Drive Golf Performance) and Andy Hogan (Edmondstown) shared first prize at the Beaverstown Pro-Am on Saturday.

Blustery conditions made life tricky for the competitors but the winners coped admirably, carding four-under-par rounds of 68, to finish one shot ahead of Joe Dillon (Headfort GC) and Simon Thornton.

Moriarty and Hogan have both enjoyed success already this season but it was a breakthrough result for Robinson who did all his scoring on the back nine at the Co Dublin venue.

Robinson went to the turn in level par 36 with two birdies and two bogeys on his card but he picked things up on the back nine, collecting birdies at the 12th, 13th, 17th and 18th as he roared home in four-under 32.

Richard Kilpatrick (Banbridge) piloted his amateur team to victory with 88 points, edging out Peter Jones (Coollattin GC).
