Mount Juliet Estate’s Director of Golf, PGA Fellow, Matt Sandercock said: “Mark Power has long been a rising star and now is his time to compete on a professional level.

“He has proved himself both nationally and internationally and there are exciting times to come, as he competes in the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, where he will represent Mount Juliet Estate Golf Club, displaying the Mount Juliet Estate Golf Estate logo on his golf bag.“
