CAOLAN McLaughlin won the James Bradley Open Strokes at Buncrana Golf Club.
The annual competition calendar got underway last weekend and there was a great turnout over the two days for this very popular competition.
With the format being stroke and the prevailing windy conditions scoring was always going to be difficult.
However it didn’t prevent Caolan McLaughlin from playing some fantastic golf to shoot a tremendous 69 gross to leave him with his winning score of 58 nett.
The full results of the James Bradley Open Stroke are as follows; 1st Caolan Mc Laughlin (11) 58 nett, 2nd Gerard Boyle (21) 58 nett, Gross Christopher Mc Callion (4) 68 gross, 3rd Hugh Doherty (6) 65 nett b.o.t., Best day John P. Mc Connell (10) 68 nett b.o.t. and back 9 Mark Monaghan (11) 31 nett b.o.t.
