Kelly claims Foxrock Pro-Am title

John Kelly beat Michael McDermott (Grange Golf Club) by a shot to win the 41^st Annual Foxrock Pro-Am on Friday.

As Director of Golf at St Margaret's Golf & County Club, John has pared back his playing commitments in recent years but he has lost none of his competitive fire and he proved it once again at the Co. Dublin venue.

A run of four birdies on his back nine saw him round in four under 66 at the Harry-Colt designed nine-hole venue.

“I'd love to be play a bit more and I do hope to get doing so in the future because I do miss that side of things,” said John.

“I had no expectations going out at Foxrock, but I'd like to think that I know my swing and know what I can do. I drove the ball straight and played nicely.”

Slade Valley Golf Club's John Dignam guided his amateur partners to success in the team event with 88pts.
