In his first professional tournament on the Alps Tour on Thursday (19th February 2026), Portumna's Sam Murphy held his nerve to hold off the chasing pack and take victory at the Ein Bay Open in Suez, Egypt.
He beat Dublin's Robert Moran by two shots at the finish for a dream debut. The 23-year-old Glenlo Abbey golfer, where he is trained by Gary Madden, finished on 11-under-par to take an early lead on the Order of Merit.
It's the first of three events in Egypt for the former Irish boys champion, who has overcome multiple injuries during his amateur career to earn this chance and take home the first prize of €6,200.
Following a practice session, he took time out to join Galway Bay FM's Darren Kelly on 'Saturday Sport' to chat about the last few days and his plans for the year ahead.
