Boland continues fine form in Castletroy, Irish Boys Round 2

/ niall@corkgolfnews.com

GUI LogoAdam Boland continued his good form in Castletroy yesterday.  The Mitchelstown man shot a one over par 73 and is still inside the top ten at the halfway stage.  It could have been better too for Boland, he had a costly double bogey on the 17th which saw him drop from -2 to level par.  Prior to that Boland had rebounded from two early bogies with three birdies to get back under par.

Mallow’s Ed Walsh bounced back from a disappointing opening 80 to shoot 74 in the second round.  Walsh has a great chance of making the 54 hole cut, he’s currently 64th but a round that’s close to par or better will help him to get inside the top 50.  Sean Leonard and Shane Galvin are just inside the top 100 after shooting rounds of 80 and 79, both are long shots when it comes to qualifying for the final round on Friday.

Rosslare’s John Brady holds the halfway lead on -7 after rounds of 68 and 69.  Overnight leader Mark Power shot a level par round and he’s in second place on -5.
