IN-FORM AMATEUR James Sugrue remains the leading Irish player at the Dubai Duty Free Irish Open, despite the Corkman slipping back with a third round of 73 to leave him +2 for the weekend.
Sugrue finished his round in steady fashion at Galgorm Golf Resort in Ballymena, but his second-hole birdie was offset by bogeys at the first and third before he picked up two more shots around the turn.
With England’s Aaron Rai holding the lead on -8, the next best of the Irish is Jonathan Caldwell on +4.
Colm Moriarty sits +7, amateur Mark Power is one further back approaching the end of his round and Damien McGrane is +9.
Back at the top of the leaderboard, Australia’s Maverick Antcliff sits second, one shot off Rai with a tight chasing pack nipping at their heels including Oscar Lengden, Dean Burmeister, Jazz Janewattananond (-6) and Lucas Herbert (-5).
I was always a fan of Nicole Cronin at 9. Very few players can move the ball around the pitch faster than her.
@Peter Cavey: Same, and I love her energy. But Dane brings a great element to the game too, particularly her control of the tempo.
@Ailbhe STAY HOME: I’m looking forward to seeing what she brings. This french team are arguably the best women’s team in the world right now.
