Walker Cup hopeful James Sugrue is back on the winning trail after romping home in the Castletroy Scratch on Saturday.  The Mallow man was named on the Walker Cup training panel earlier this month and his golf continues to do the talking as he finished five strokes clear of a strong field at the end of the 36 hole event.  Rounds of 68 ad 71 (-5) saw him clear the field, and with just one bogey in each of the rounds he played some very tidy golf.  Second place went to Pat Murray on level par with Harry Duggan (Kilkenny) finishing in third place on +1.  Jack Ryan was the best of the home golfers, he took fourth, and it was a special day for Athenry’s Peader O’Beirne.  Peader too second nett but also had a hole in one in the competition.  It was a welcome win for Sugrue who was laid low with an injury just six weeks ago.  The Irish International has been playing well all season.  A top 15 finish in Lytham, and a top 20 in the Irish Amateur came after Sugrue had to pull out of the Euro Nations with a rib injury.  His performance at the weekend now sends a signal that he’s a contender for a second major to the South title he won in 2017.  Sugrue is headed for Leeds this week for the Brabazon Trophy, where the Walker Cup selectors will no doubt be watching the members of their extended training panel.
