England’s John Gough says he is delighted to bring home the silverware in front of friends and family as he won the 2023 Flogas Irish Men’s Amateur Open Championship at The Island.
The Berkshire golfer shot a cool final round of 67 to finish on -8 and one shot clear of the field, with fellow Englishman Dylan Shaw-Radford in second and yesterday’s course record holder Tomi Bowen falling back to -6 in third.
But it was Gough who notched up seven birdies on his way to victory. A hat-trick of birdies on 8, 9 and 10 brought him into contention before he repeated the feat on 14, 15 and 16 to seal a famous win.
