Doyle & Fahy lead the way at Irish Students Amateur Open

The final round of the Irish Students Amateur Open gets underway this morning with Maynooth University’s students Alan Fahy and IGM columnist Mary Doyle sitting pretty on top of the leaderboard at Bray Golf Club.

Doyle shot a best round of the day 72 in the ladies event and combined with her opening 74 she now leads by four shots from fellow Maynooth student Ciara Casey with Shannon Burke, also from Maynooth, a further shot back.

In the men’s event Fahy added a 69 to his opening 66 and leads by two from Ulster’s Stefan Greenberg with a seven-way tie for third which includes some notable names in Sugrie, Hood, Kerr, Mullarney, McDaid, Griffin and Smith.

In the team event the Maynooth University Scholars B squad of Fahy, Eanna Griffin and Kyle McCarron lead by three strokes on seven-under par from Maynooth University Scholars A side of Hood, Mullarney and Cathal Butler.
