Five Irish boys and girls bound for Brazil
from Faldo Series at Lough Erne
NEWS RELEASE
The third annual Faldo Series Ireland Championship was played this week at Lough Erne Golf Resort in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland.
The overall winner was David Reilly who carded a two-round total of 146 (74, 72), enough to ensure a closely fought one stroke victory. The players were treated to wonderful conditions on Lough Erne’s recently opened course designed by Nick Faldo himself.
Ben Banerji produced the Resort’s first ever hole-in-one by holing a 3-wood at the par 3 13th during the first round of play.
Victoria Bradshaw was the winner of the Girls under 21 category and, as a result, she’ll return to her second Faldo Series Grand Final along with all of the winners from Lough Erne when the event returns to Brazil later this year.
The Grand Final will be hosted by Nick where he will hope to pass on some of the experiences that he has built up over thirty years of playing golf at the very highest level.
In addition to the events on course, the Faldo Series also organised grass roots activities to run alongside the Ireland Championship, which itself was organised in conjunction with LEGR and supported by the European Tour and The R&A. 37 local children took part in a golf development clinic aimed at giving an introduction to the game.
Faldo commented: “I’m delighted that the Faldo Series Ireland Championship was such a success, especially bearing in mind the fact that we have such a close association with our new venue at the Lough Erne Golf Resort.
"I look forward to welcoming all of the winners at this year’s Faldo Series Grand Final in Brazil where they will have the opportunity to meet and compete against young fellow golfers from around the world.”
Jim Treacy, owner of Lough Erne Golf Resort, added: "This is a great opportunity for some of Ireland's best young golfing talent to follow in the footsteps of previous Faldo Series winners like Rory McIlroy and test their skills on a course that we hope will go on to be recognised as one of Ireland and the UK's best championship courses."
Winners from the Faldo Series Ireland Championship at Lough Erne Golf Resort:
Boys Under 21: David Reilly
