Overnight leader Jim Carvill (Banbridge) clinched his first Irish Seniors Close Championship with three strokes to spare at Malone.

Carvill finished with a round of 72, one over for the day and level par for the tournament, as he won with ease from Hugh O’Leary (Castlemartyr). Portmarnock’s Adrian Morrow (60-64), Birr’s Billy Donlon (65-69) and Bangor’s Nigel Woods (70+) were the age-category winners.

For Carvill, this success is added to a CV that also includes the Irish Over-30s (2016), East of Ireland (2005) and South of Ireland (2005) Championships.
