Never Hurry A Murray As Alan Wins PGA Europrotour Ivobank UK Masters at Collingtree Park

Posted by under Latest Golf News, Mens Pro Golf

Alan Murray from Ireland braved the rain at Collingtree Park, Northampton to win the PGA Europrotour Ivobank UK Masters by one stroke ahead of Lloyd Kennedy.

The Team Ireland/ Greystones GC shot 11 under for the tournament with a final round of five under 67 in miserable weather.

The man from Bray scoops £10,000 for his win and heads into next week’s event at Faithlegg in Waterford in good spirit – and hoping to carry on a great start to the Tour for the Irish players.

Overnight leaders Michael Hempstock and Daniel Brooks had disappointing rounds, the former shooting two over for the day to finish seven under, the latter shooting an eight over 80 to finish one under.

Dale Marmion shot 69 to finish joint third with Haylock and Aussie Daniel Gaunt, with Lee Gauthier joining the winner Murray in shooting five under for the final round and finishing on seven under with Hempstock. Murray’s playing partner Noel Fox, who led early in the tournament, finished six under along with James Ruebotham.

The players head to Ireland next week to tackle Faithlegg in Waterford for the fourth event on the Ivobank PGA EuroPro Tour.
