Golf: Paul Cutler won the East of Ireland Championship at Co Louth Golf Club today where a final round 71 gave the Portstewart golfer a two shot win over Luke Lennox from Moyola Park.
A fortnight after Shane Lowry produced the magic to win the 3 Irish Open at the Baltray venue, today Ireland’s top amateurs had no call for the rain gear as the sun split the skies.
Culter’s final round gave him a 284 winning aggregate, while Lennox closed with a 73.
