Gold Medal Draw

Daniel Woods (24) was the leading qualifier for the matchplay stages of the 2023 Gold Medal competition after shooting a 69 nett in qualifying. He took the accolade on countback from Conor Curran (2) and will now face Senior Panel member Ciaran Johnstone in the first round.

​Woods had five pars during his round at the seventh, eighth, 12th, 14th and 18th while Curran had five birides at the first, sixth, seventh, 10th and 11th.

They finished one shot ahead of four players – Neal MacKell, Chris Clarke, Dermot McKenna and Connor McCaughey – who finished on 70.

The cut line fell at 76 (39/25) and the 64 qualifiers now face a summer of matchplay to determine this year’s champion.
