Once again the ISPS Handa World Invitational presented by AVIV Clinics, held at Galgorm Castle Golf Club and Massereene Golf Club, has been a huge success with millions tuning in around the globe.
Scotland’s Ewen Ferguson claimed his second DP World Tour title of the season with a wire-to-wire win at the event.
Ferguson, who began the week with a course-record 61 at Galgorm Castle and was never headed, carded a closing 69 to finish 12 under, three shots clear of close friend Connor Syme and Borja Virto.
In the women’s tournament, Sweden’s Maja Stark stormed to a five-shot victory courtesy of a stunning closing round of 63 – a course record.
Thousands attended in the beautiful sunshine at Galgorm Castle Golf Club which was in impeccable condition for everyone to enjoy.
