He won by three strokes from Ballymena-based professional Dermot McElroy, who took the second gross on a countback from Portmarnock Links’ Gary Cullen with a three-under 69.
Galway’s David Kitt, the former Irish Close runner-up, won the first nett as he shot a fine 70 to win with a 71 on a countback from Stephen Houlihan, who shot a 77 off six.
