Adam Buchanan enjoyed a dream debut in the Pierse Motor Group South of Ireland Amateur Open Championship when he opened with a six-under 66 to claim a share of the first round lead at Lahinch.
The 20-year-old Ballyclare native, who made such a splash with NAIA college Keiser University this season that he's secured a transfer to NCAA Division I ranked Louisville next month, made seven birdies and a lone bogey at the 14th to share top spot with Royal Dublin’s Sean Downes on a perfect links day in west Clare.
