AN IRISHMAN HAS qualified for the final of the prestigious Amateur Open Championship, which is being staged at Portmarnock Golf Club this weekend.
Cork native James Sugrue enjoyed a memorable day on the famous north Dublin links today, as he won his quarter-final and then came through a high-quality semi-final against Australian David Micheluzzi, the highest ranked player in the field.
The 22-year-old recorded a 3 and 1 victory over Micheluzzi earlier and will face Scotland’s Euan Walker in the 36-hole decider at Portmarnock tomorrow.
Sugrue is bidding to become the first Irishman since Brian McElhinney in 2005 to win the Amateur Open, with a victory also guaranteeing him a place at next month’s Open in Portrush.
We have an Irish finalist at #TheAmateur in Ireland! 🇮🇪@DavidMicheluzzi concedes on 17 to give James Sugrue a 3&1 victory at @PGC1894 pic.twitter.com/MdDhZJ6Y7V

Arsenal a sinking ship lol. Liverpool must be the Titanic in that case.
How are Arsenal a better team that they were last year?or the year b4 that or the year b4 that?
the only reason they havnt sold their star player this window is the fact they have none,
He’s right though, say what ye want
Wenger is a serious scam artist how is he still in a job?? No trophy since an undeserved FA cup in 2005….
Suarez would be stupid to go to that sinked ship
What as opposed to staying at Liverpool :-O ???!!!
Wenger is a seriously deluded man that should have been sacked four years ago.
The Board is holding the purse strings, not Wenger
Gazidis has said that Wenger has always had money to spend. It’s wengers fault for failing to attract quality players. Same old tired excuses from him every year. The Arsene knows best brigade is getting smaller at the emirates
