McDonnell wins Lady Captain's Prize to the men

Conor McDonnell was the winner of Lady Captain Leone Baillie’s Prize to the Men over the midsummer weekend with a five under par nett score of 67.
Playing off 26, McDonnell opened with a par at the first he added further pars at the fifth and ninth and turned in 47 gross which was 34 nett after bogeys at the fourth and sixth, doubles at the second, third and eighth and a triple at the seventh.
He manged to keep his back nine triple bogey free as he parred 12 and 14, had bogeys at the 11, 13th, 17th and 18th and doubles at the 10th, 15th and 16th. That saw him cover the home run in 46 gross for a 33 nett.
His nett score of 67 was matched by Sam Malone (9). McDonnell had the better back six although it wasn’t required as under tournament rules Malone, as an intermediate member, is unable to win or be runner-up in a major tournament.
