Former West of Ireland golf champion Caolan Rafferty completed the career Grand Slam as he added the North of Ireland Amateur Open title at Portstewart on Friday.

The 32-year-old Dundalk native had previously been crowned champion in the South (2018), West (2019) and East (2024) and became the first person in history to win all four regional championships.

Rafferty, who will represent Ireland at the World Amateur Team Championships in Singapore next month, led all the way from Round 1 and ended up claiming a one-shot win over Ben Willis (Hunstanton) and Andrew Mulholland (Castlerock) on the links.
