PGA SENIORS CHAMPIONSHIP GOES
BACK TO SUFFOLK COURSE
Sam Torrance has welcomed the announcement that the £200,000 PGA Seniors Championship will return to The Stoke by Nayland Golf Club in Suffolk from September 6-9 this year.
The former Ryder Cup captain produced an outstanding final round of six under par 66 to win last year’s event and will draw on those happy memories as he bids to become only the third player in the 51 year history of the championship to capture the title in three consecutive years.
Torrance commented: “The PGA Seniors Championship is one of the most important events of the year for me. It’s a flagship tournament and having won it for the past two years I’ll be looking to make it three in a row.
“I enjoyed the testing course at Stoke by Nayland last year and look forward to returning there.”
Since its inception in 1957, the PGA Seniors Championship has attracted some of the finest names to have ever graced the fairways and a very special name could be added to the list this year with Major champions Seve Ballesteros, Nick Faldo and Bernhard Langer all eligible to play.
The Stoke by Nayland Golf Club boasts two championship courses – the Constable and Gainsborough - and is located in 350 acres of rolling hills, woodlands and lakes, on the edge of the Dedham Vale. The 2007 PGA Seniors’ Championship will be played over 72 holes on the Gainsborough Course.
Sam Torrance, winner of the European Seniors Tour Order of Merit for the past two years, has yet to make his seasonal debut due to a hand injury.
