Hume in the mix again

Jack Hume is in contention in the Welsh Amateur Open. Pictured at Royal Dublin by Pat Cashman. Rathsallagh’s Jack Hume has a chance to make up for two successive disappointments when he goes into the final two rounds of the Welsh Amateur Open just a shot off the lead at Royal Portcawl.

Beaten in a playoff for the Lytham Trophy two weeks ago, the 19 year old needed a par at the last to win last week’s Irish Amateur Open at Royal Dublin but made double bogey to miss out on the play-off by a shot.

However, he’s stil lplaying brilliant golf and with the Walker Cup selectors taking a keen interest, his three under 69 leaves him just a shot behind leaders Paul Howard, Garrick Porteous and Callum Shinkwin on four under.

Lucan’s Richard O’Donovan slipped back with a 76 but is still just four shots off the lead on one under.

Brian Casey (level) and fellow Headfort man Rory McNamara (four over) were the only other Irish players to make the halfway cut.
