A talented young Donegal golfer has won the prestigious U14 Flogas Irish Junior Open Tour.
Charlie O’Hora (13), from Ballybofey & Stranorlar Golf Club, was the Ping Major Nett Champion at the event which was staged at the Lough Erne Resort, Fermanagh, last weekend.
The Irish Junior Open is Ireland’s largest and one of Europe’s biggest Junior, Adult/Junior and Elite WAGR Golf Tours with competitors travelling from all over the world to compete.
