The 2017 Masters golf tournament got underway yesterday at the Augusta National Golf Club. Once again there is plenty of Irish interest in the tournament and this year there is a Leitrim connection to the most prestigious golf tournament in the world!
While Shane Lowry and Rory McIlroy finished the opening day tied for 11th spot, there was a Leitrim man who grabbed the attention of many television viewers.
Eagle-eyed television viewers may have spotted Carrick-on-Shannon's Donal McDwyer as he enjoyed a perfect green-side view of the action.
