Ring of Kerry's Tommy O'Driscoll bounced back from the disappointment of being pipped in Leinster when he fired a closing 76 to win the Ulster Boys Amateur Open by two strokes at Clandeboye.
Edged out by a stroke at Kilkenny jut seven days ago, O'Driscoll was not to be denied this time as he finished on 11 over par 295 with Holywood's Rory Williamson his nearest challenger on 297.
Scoring was tough with Leinster Boys champion James Knipe of Royal Portrush finishing 20 strokes behind O'Driscoll this time around.
