It was an all-Irish final at the 41st U.S. Mid-Amateur Championship at Erin Hills in Wisconsin. In the end, it was Matthew McClean knocking out Hugh Foley, 3 and 1, on Saturday.
McClean, 29, an optometrist from Belfast, is just the second international golfer to win a U.S. Mid-Amateur. He’s also the second Irishman in 2022 to win a U.S. Golf Association championship, following Padraig Harrington, who won the U.S. Senior Open in June.
