Anybody here seen Kelly? That's him three clear for Irish

seniors victory at Castleroy

FROM THE IRISH GOLF UNION WEBSITE
Killeen's Maurice Kelly fired a closing round of 73 to capture the Irish senior men's open amateur championship at Castletroy Golf Club today by three strokes from Tipperary's Arthur Pierse.
Kelly, who also holds the Irish senior amateur (closed title), got of to a superb start with pars on the opening three holes followed by back to back birdies. His first dropped shot of the round came on the par four eighth hole and another followed on the tenth before he steadied the ship with four straight pars.
A birdie on the fifteenth hole made victory a formality for the Killeen man who has won the Irish Seniors Order of Merit in four of the last five years.
Pierse also recorded a 73 on the final day to clinch the runner-up spot ahead of Michael Coote (Tralee), John Carroll (Bandon) and Tony Cleary (Cork). Carroll was winner of the Over 60s Trophy while Roy Smethurst (England) and Sean Hosty (Galway) won the Over 65's and Over 70s equivalents.
