Ross Drummond, four times Scottish professional champion between 1986 and 1990, is confident he can finally win a European golf title - after more than 30 years of trying.
The Paisley 51-year-old notched up seven top-10 finishes, including twice runner-up, in his debut season on the European Seniors Tour to claim sixth place on the Over-50s' Order of Merit with earnings of over £121,000 from 14 tournaments.
The 6ft 4in Drummond claimed the leading Scot honours for 2007 ahead of Sam Torrance, John Chillas, Bill Longmuir & Co.
Now Drummond, pictured right, wants a first place in 2008. He said: "It has been a very satisfying year. The standard on the seniors tour is very good but having been there or thereabouts a few times this season I feel I have the ability to win a title. Hopefully that will be sooner rather than later."
Drummond's earnings in 2007 were his second highest one-season total since he turned pro in 1975. In 1996, on the European Tour, he won £150,000 and was ranked No 47.
In his last full season - 2006 - on the Tartan Tour he made £20,316 from 53 competitions so Ross has boosted his earnings six-fold simply by becoming eligible to play on the Seniors Tour. Playing consistently well also had something to do with it.
