MCGRANE SHOWS HIS CLASS IN DERRY PRO AM.

European Tour player,Damien McGrane,missed the qualifing for the Open Championship,so he took up an invite to play in the 36 hole McCambridge-Duffy PGA Pro Am around the City of Derry course and came away the easy winner with scores of 67,67,64 for a 15 under par total and a 4 shot win from Ex Tour player David Higgins.

McGrane is presently 57th on the "Race to Dubai" table on the European tour with earnings of €318,038 this year.He can add the £2,000 he won in Derry after his closing 7 birdie round of 64.This topped Higgins who was leading by 2 shots overnight.Higgins extended his lead at the top of the "Race to Mount Juliet" table with a cheque for £1,600 for 2nd place.
