Sligo golfer and 2017 champion pips James Hewitt to set up a last-four clash with Slieve Russell’s Shane McDermott
But coming up 17 late on Monday evening it looked as though there would be no Sligo involvement in Tuesday’s action. James Hewitt seemed to have a putt for a 2&1 win, only for the 2017 winner to swoop.
“Matchplay moment, I make and he misses. Just a bit mad, I can’t believe it. I was down most of the match and trying to hang on in there. Carew had to battle hard to see off another leading English contender, Arron Edwards-Hill, with a 2up win. It was even tighter in the match between Boucher and Jordan Hood with the former claiming a 1up success.
“I was between 9 and 8 iron, so I hit 8. I’d hit 9 in the morning and I said to Darragh that I might just cut up an 8 and yeah, just hit a lovely shot, straight at it, one bounce and couple of rolls and straight in. You can’t really predict those things, but they’re great when they come off,” said Boucher.
