Mallow's James Sugrue made up for his near miss two years ago when he closed with a sensational 68 to win the Munster Youths Amateur Open Championship by seven shots.
The overnight leader's brilliant, four under par closing round left him on seven under par 209 at Dungarvan Golf Club.
Castle's Peter McKeever was second on level par after a 74 with Balmoral's Matthew McClean a shot further back in third on one over 217.
Limerick's Mark MacGrath took fourth place on three over thanks to a final round 71.
