Dundalk Golf Notes: Impressive Ciaran Traynor secures Irwin Lockington Salver title

Ciaran Traynor (6) shot an impressive 40pts to take the Irwin Lockington Salver title, but he needed countback to see off the challenges of Desmond McKeown (10) and Martin McCaughey (25) who also finished on 40pts.

After opening with two one point bogeys, Traynor collected four points for a birdie at the third. Two more one point bogeys followed before a biride at six and a par at seven both yielded three points. Two point pars at eight and nine saw him turn in 18pts.

The first seven points of his 22pts down the back nine came from birdies on the 10th and 11th and after a one point bogey he birdied the par three 13th for three points. Three point pars followed at the 15th and 16h as his excellent back nine propelled him to 40pts.

McKeown took Division Two from Damien English (11) while McCaughey was the Division 3 winner after pipping Hugh Reilly (24). Robert White with 36pts won the Gross Prize.

Colin Roche, playing off scratch, shot 38pts to win the Deluxe Bathrooms Open Singles Stableford title with Neil MacKell taking the gross prize. Paul Murphy, John Farrell and John McLaughlin won the category prizes.
