Conal shoots to Henry White Memorial Cup win

A MAGNIFICENT seven birdies in a six-under par round shot Conal Patterson to victory in the Henry White Memorial Open competition at County Armagh.

The Lurgan man, who plays of a handicap of three, could do no wrong on his way to a nett 64 winning score.

With five birdes from the first eight holes, Conal was four under par at the turn – a bogey four at the par 3 third hole the only fault on his outward trek.

And although he dropped a further three shots over the back nine, birdies at the 12^th and 15^th holes ensured he was still on for the big win.

Stuart Hall did his very best to snatch it from Conal but came up a couple of shots short with a nett 65 – secured with a  three over par front nine and level par back nine.

In third place was Shea Brady who produced a one-over par front nine and level par back nine for his nett 65.

Derek McKeever pipped George Bradshaw to fourth with a better back nine after both returned nett 66 scores, and George will surely have been doubly disappointed after dropping five shots over the final three holes when a low 60’s score looked to be on the cards.

The in-form Gareth Frizell was back among the prizes picking up sixth with a nett 67, and juvenile Lee Campbell secured the final prize with a nett 67 score also.

Niall Brady, younger brother of third-placed Shea, collected the Best Gross score prize with a nett 65 and Philip Kelly was second in the same category with a nett 69 of a 3-handicap.
