    Witnessed some of the most impressive golf I've ever seen in Royal Dublin over the past few days. 16 year old Pedro Figueiredo of Portugal turned the event into procession winning by a massive 7 strokes, leaving the cream of Europes amateurs in his dust.

    From www.gui.ie

    Sixteen years old Pedro Figueiredo from Portugal shot a sparkling four under par 68 in the final round to capture the AIB sponsored Irish Amateur Open Championship at Royal Dublin

    After covering the opening 36 holes in four under par, Figueiredo fired a solid round of 70 in Sunday morning’s third round before taking command of the Championship with birdies on the second and third holes of the final round – which opened up a four stroke lead.

    The schoolboy traded birdies with bogeys until the thirteenth hole – the third most difficult hole on the course on the final day – where he made a birdie three before virtually sealing the title with another birdie on the par five fourteenth.

    A quartet of pars over the remaining holes saw Figueiredo win by a margin of seven stokes from a trio of players – Scotland’s Keir McNicoll, Connor Doran (Banbridge) and Billy Hemstock from England.

    Local hero Niall Kearney finished a shot further back in fifth place.
