Limerick's Tim Rice fired a five-under-par 67 to win the third outing of the Munster PGA Winter Series at Killarney's pristine Mahony's Point.
The Irish PGA champion won by a shot from Monkstown's Cian McNamara with Fota Island's Jack Howard and Cahir Park's David Ryan a shot further back.

Lahinch's Donal McSweeney was fifth with a 70 as Rice led Alan O’Meara, Jamie O’Sullivan and David Whyte to the team prize on a day when 28 PGA professionals teed it up.
Whyte also took the over 45s prize on a day when all members were delighted to hear that Dooks' Danny Sugrue is on the mend after undergoing major surgery recently.
