But all is not quiet for Mallow’s James Sugrue, the British Amateur champion. Nominated for Cork Person of the Year, Sugrue was named Men’s Amateur of 2019 by the Irish Golf Writers’ Association. Sugrue played for his county at underage level and still carries a hurley with him to golf tournaments. The previous month had featured those magical days at Portmarnock when Sugrue rose to the top of the game. A collection of key moments from his British Amateur win are worth recalling and highlight what a precarious route he had to navigate.
