The winner was recently captain of the Oxford University team. Munn, who is 50 years of age; has won seven Irish championships, and has played in first-class golf for 30 years. He has never been nearer winning the amateur championship than the semifinal. Sweeney took the lead at the first hole, and only lost it at the 23rd.
