England's Trevor Foster closed with a best of the day, two-under 70 to win the Irish Seniors Amateur Open by two strokes from compatriot Steve Graham at a windy Concra Wood.

The champion made four birdies and two bogeys, finishing on level par 216 as overnight leader Graham dropped three shots in his first three holes en route to a 77.

Calcot Park-based Irishman George Wilson posted a 75 to share third on six-over with Portmarnock's Adrian Morrow, who closed with a 78.

But it was a day to forget for Naas' Maurice Kelly, who was leading when he opened to a birdie to Graham's double bogey but failed to make another, closing with an 83 at the tough Castleblayney venue to finish nine shots behind the winner on nine-over.
