STROKE PLAY RECAPIt has been a difficult two days at the West of Ireland Open with the wind recking havoc on the competition. After the winds of yesterday carried over to today the Championship Committee has decided to reduce qualifying to just 18-holes.
Late in the second day of qualifying it finally reached a point where the wind gusts of 50 MPH were simply to much to allow play to continue at The County Sligo Golf Club. As a result, despite a large majority of the field completing the second round those scores will wiped away and just the opening 18-holes will be counted as qualifying scores for the match play portion of the event.
With scores reduced to 18-holes of play Sean Flanagan playing on his home course will be the top seed. He shot an opening day 2-over par 73.
The West of Ireland Open is the first major amateur event of the year in Ireland. In the past it has seen many winners become world stars in the game of golf. Most notably are Rory McIlroy (2005, 2006), Padraig Harrington (1994) and Shane Lowry (2008).
