Day Two of the 2022 JP McManus Pro Am is in the books and a truly wonderful event was capped in wonderful style today at Adare Manor. There were huge crowds again to watch Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Shane Lowry and some of the biggest names in golf.
In the end, Xander Schauffele was crowned champion of the professional draw. The Californian shot 70 to finish on -10. Sam Burns finished one shot back on -9. Shane Lowry was in blistering form today, shooting six birdies to finish best of the Irish and just two shots behind the winner.
The winning amateur team was Gerry McManus's team, the team of JP's brother.
Sportsfile picked up some wonderful photos of today's golf.

Tiger Woods addressed the media before teeing off today. He spoke about his recovery from the Masters and his plans for the Open.
"No, the plan was play the US Open but physically I wasn't able to do that. There's no way physically I could have done that. I had some issues with my leg and it would have put this tournament in jeopardy and so there's no reason to do that.
"This is a pretty historic Open that we're going to be playing. I'm lucky enough to be part of the past champions that have won there and want to play there again, and I don't know when they are ever going to go back while I'm still able to play at a high level and I want to be able to get at least one more run at a high level."
Woods shot aa 74 today to finish on 7 over par.
