This could be last Senior British Open

for Sir Bob Charles

By COLIN FARQUHARSON
Sir Bob Charles has told a mutual acquaintance that this week's Senior British Open at Carnoustie will be his last - unless he makes the cut.
"Sir Bob believes in the three strikes and you're out 'rule' - and he has missed the cut in his last two Senior British Opens," said Jim Hardie, Aberdeen businessman and golfing friend of Sir Bob.
New Zealander Charles won the Open at Royal Lytham in 1963 after a play-off - the last over 36 holes - against American Phil Rodgers.
He finished runner-up to Gary Player in the Open at Carnoustie in 1968 and was again second behind Tony Jacklin at Royal Lytham in 1969.
He was born on March 14, 1936 - which makes him 74 - and he has been a professional since 1960.
