Tramore's John Mitchell edged out Malone's Barry Hobson after a countback to win the Leinster Seniors Open at Luttrellstown Golf Club.

They followed opening 74s with three-over 75s with Mitchell declared the winner by virtue of his better score over the final three holes.

He had three closing pars to win the day after they could not be separated over the last 18, nine or six holes.

The top two finished on five-over 149, two strokes ahead of City of Derry's Ernie Heywood, who shot a best of the day, one-under 71 with Westport's Liam Halpin a shot further back after a closing 77.

Naas' Maurice Kelly took fifth place with the Veteran's Prize going to Birr's Billy Donlon.
