Royal Dublin’s Hugh Foley fell on the 20th to England’s John Gough in the quarter-finals of the Spanish Amateur Championship for the Copa del Rey at Sherry Golf Jerez in Cádiz.
Gough went on to beat Germany’s Yannick Malik 2 and 1 in the semi-finals and will face Michael Alexander Mjaaseth of Norway, a 1 up winner over Spain’s Luis Masaveu, in Sunday’s 36-hole final.
Gough led Foley by 2 up after nine holes but the Dubliner birdied the 11th and parred the 13th to go ahead.
Gough, who has Co Meath roots, made a two at the 14th to regain the lead, but while Foley squared the match with a par at the 15th, he lost the 17th to Gough’s birdie four before eventually going out at the second extra hole.
In the Copa de la Reina for the Spanish Ladies Amateur at Real Club Pineda in Seville, Spain’s Cayetana Fernández will face Germany’s Charlotte Back for the title.
