Sicilian event added to European Seniors Tour next month

NEWS RELEASE ISSUED BY THE EUROPEAN SENIORS TOUR
The European Senior Tour will return to Italy for the penultimate event of the 2010 season when II Picciolo Golf Club hosts the Sicilian Senior Open from October 22-24.
It takes the number of events counting towards the 2010 Senior Tour Order of Merit to 20 and could play a significant role in deciding the winner of the John Jacobs Trophy, a fortnight before the season-ending OKI Castéllon Senior Tour Championship.
With a prize fund of €250,000, the Sicilian Senior Open marks the Senior Tour’s return to Italy after a one-year absence, following Peter Mitchell’s victory in the Lake Garda Italian Seniors Open at Palazzo Arzaga Hotel Spa and Resort in 2008.
The Italian Seniors Open was held at Circolo Golf Venezia from 2004, with Terry Gale, Gery Watine, former Ryder Cup Captain Sam Torrance and Simon Owen each capturing the title before the event moved to Lake Garda two years ago.
