ARCHIVED - Scottish golfer Paul Lawrie wins Farmfoods European Senior Masters in La Manga Club
The 53-year-old Scot took first place in the over-50s competition that was held in La Manga last week
The South course of the Real Golf La Manga Club complex was host to the final of the Farmfoods European Senior Masters this weekend, one of the most important events on the Legends Tour calendar, an international circuit for golfers over the age of 50.
This is the first time this competition has been held in La Manga, and there were plenty of golf legends in attendance, including Peter Baker, Michael Campbell, Miguel Ángel Martín, José Manuel Carriles and Paul Lawrie, who finally took first place.
53-year-old Scottish golfer Paul Lawrie, who won the British Open in 1999 and later, in 2016, was vice-captain of the European Ryder Cup team, took top spot in La Manga with 450 points after a tie-break with Swedish player Michael Jonzon.
Jonzon, 50, was second with 297 points and third place was shared by the American Clark Dennis, 56, and the Englishman Peter Baker, 55, both with 180.
All these veteran golfers had a great time on the Los Belones course, remembering their times as professionals and enjoying a Sunset party on the terrace of the Príncipe Felipe Hotel with live music and an exclusive dinner.
