2025 Winner Dwayne Mallon from Dungannon Golf Club will be returning to defend his title and commented: “Winning the Senior Scratch Cup at Murvagh last year was a great feeling. It’s such a brilliant course and a very tough test, so to come out on top was very rewarding. The course seems to get better every time I play it, and I’m looking forward to seeing more of the changes Paul McGinley and his team have made.”
