Ross Kellett 76 is leading Scot at Royal Dublin GC
Hopkins leads Irish amateur open championship with a 71
FROM THE IRISH GOLF UNION WEBSITE
Jeff Hopkins (Skerries) fired a one under par 71 to lead the way after the opening round of the AIB sponsored Irish Amateur Open Championship at the Royal Dublin Golf Club.
The stiff north easterly wind which howled over the links all day made for an extremely testing outward nine which Hopkins managed to cover in an impressive one-over-par 36. Birdies on the 10th, 13th and 14th holes followed by a bogey on the 15th made up the homeward nine of 35. Hopkins turned 18 in January but still qualifies to play at boys level and will take part in an Irish Boys trial at Druid's Glen and Powerscourt Golf Clubs next weekend.
He leads by one from Galgorm Castle's David Kernohan - who matched Hopkins in reaching the quarter-finals of the West of Ireland Championship last month. The beaten finalist in that Championship, Eddie McCormack (Galway) lies in a group of four players one stroke further back on 73.
SCOTSWATCH: Ross Kellett (Colville Park) led the large Scots contingent with a 76 which left him tied for 13th place overnight. Colin Thomson and Alexander Culverwell came next with 77s and there were three Scots on the 78 mark - Sam Binning, Kris Nicol and James White. David Law, Greg Paterson and Fraser McKenna had 79s. Philip McLean and Paul Shields had 80s, Scott Borrowman an 82 and, bringing up the rear for the Scots were Jordan Findlay and Mark Bookless on 84.
