SAM TORRANCE CLICKETY-CLICKS FOR JT 4TH PLACE IN MAURITIUS

By STEVE TODD
European Senior Tour Press Officer
Sam Torrance ended the 2011 European Senior Tour season in style with a flawless six under par 66 in the final round of the MCB Tour Championship, which was won by American Tom Lehman (picture of Lehman with the trophy by courtesy of Getty Images(c).
The Scot fired six birdies at Constance Belle Mare Plage in Mauritius to move up the leaderboard into tied fourth position with former Ryder Cup team-mate Gordon J Brand, who also carded a 66, his lowest round of the season.
Torrance’s joint best finish of the season – his fifth top ten position of 2011 – moved the three time John Jacobs Trophy winner up to 20th position on the Senior Tour Order of Merit.
“I played beautifully today,” said the 2002 Ryder Cup captain. “I played well all week actually but nothing really went for me until today. It was a good finish to the year. I haven’t won but it’s nice to finish the season like that.”
Compatriot Andrew Oldcorn, who was playing in his first tournament since an operation to remove a cataract on his right eye, closed with a 73 to share tenth position with fellow Scot Bill Longmuir.
That consolidated Oldcorn in third position on the Order of Merit behind Australian Peter Fowler, who lifted the John Jacobs Trophy in Mauritius, and Cleveland Golf/Srixon Scottish Senior Open winner Barry Lane.
Former Open Champion Tom Lehman, No 1 on the US Champions Tour in 2011, sealed a wire-to-wire victory after surviving a captivating final round battle with David Frost.
The 2006 United States Ryder Cup Captain carded a final round 71 for a 12 under par total of 204 to hold off South African Frost by a single stroke, on a day
Lehman, who defeated Frost and Fred Couples in a play-off to win the 2010 US Senior PGA Championship, was making his debut in a regular European Senior Tour event and the victory was his fourth of 2011, following three wins on the US Champions Tour, where he topped the Money List.
“This is a special win for me,” said Lehman. ““When you come somewhere like Mauritius and they make you feel so welcome you feel a sense of urgency to play well to say thank you. I had a great desire to play the best I could to say thank you to everyone.
“But on top of that, to play in the European Senior Tour’s Tour Championship against so many great players, so many friends, and to win really does mean a lot to me.”
Lehman had started the final round with a two-shot advantage, which was maintained when both players bogeyed the third hole. Frost then closed the gap to one shot with a birdie on the fourth but relinquished it again on the next hole.
A further birdie from the South African on the eighth hole meant the pair entered the back nine separated by just a single stroke. Lehman carded his first birdie of the round on the 13th hole, which was matched by Frost who then drew level with Lehman for the first time when he holed six foot birdie putt on the 14th.
The turning point came on the 15th when Frost dropped another shot and Lehman took full advantage on the next hole to restore his overnight two- stroke cushion.
Frost was bidding for a unique double of winning twice at the same venue in a season following his play-off win in the Mauritius Commercial Bank Open 12 months ago and he set up another tense finale when he birdied on the 17th to go to the final hole one shot adrift.
However there was to be no repeat of his previous heroics when he had eagled the closing hole to take Roger Chapman into extra holes, as Frost pushed his drive into the bushes and despite a majestic three wood third shot to 30ft he could not hole the birdie putt, leaving Lehman needing only a par to take the title.
“David’s been giving me a great battle all year and this was no different,” said Lehman. “We’ve been in a few tournaments together and I’ve just been a fraction better it seems.
“He played extremely well the last two days and I thought he outplayed me but I had a big enough lead and managed to hang on.”
“That birdie on the 16th just to get the lead back was important. I played pretty well the front nine but just didn’t make any birdies. Then I finally made a birdie on the 13th and then again on the 16th to get the lead back and not only that but a two shot lead after David made a bogey on the 15th. That gave me the cushion I needed and it was great to get the victory.
“This was my 29th tournament of the year – the most I’ve ever played since I was on the mini-Tours – so to come here and finish off this year with a victory is great for me.”
Frost’s closing 70 to finish runner up helped him move from 17th to seventh on the final 2011 Order of Merit, while Englishman Nick Job was six shots further back in third on five under par for his only top ten finish on 2011.
In the battle for the Order of Merit, Fowler recovered from back-to-back double bogeys on the fifth and sixth holes to end his year with a round of 73 and record his 13th top ten finish of the season in seventh place, ten shots behind Lehman.
His cheque of €14,814 was enough to hold to give him the John Jacobs Trophy ahead of Englishman Barry Lane, who finished in a share ninth place on level par following a closing 73

LUKE DONALD DOES IT: LEADING WINNER IN EUROPE AND US TOUR

FROM THE EUROPEAN TOUR WEBSITE
Luke Campbell Donald completed an historic money list double as he captured The Race to Dubai title at Jumeirah Golf Estates today.
The World No 1 had already won the US PGA Tour money list, and added European Number One to his CV when his last remaining challenger, Rory McIlroy, failed to win the Dubai World Championship presented by DP World.
It completes a remarkable year for Donald, who becomes the first player to win the money list on both sides of the Atlantic.
"It's funny to sum up how I feel," said Donald. "This is something I've wanted for the last few months - to try and win both Money Lists. Obviously with my come from behind win at Disney, this really became possible.
"I got what I came for, and that was to win The Race to Dubai and do the double and create history."
Having captured the World Golf Championship –Accenture Match Play title in Arizona in February, he added The European Tour’s flagship BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth, beating Lee Westwood in a play-off and becoming World Number One in the process.
The 34 year old Englishman - he had his 34th birthday on December 7 - from Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire  added a third title at the Barclays Scottish Open before winning the Children’s’ Miracle Network Classic at Disneyland to secure the US PGA Tour money list crown.
Coming as it did little more than a month since his father died suddenly, Donald did well to hold himself together over the closing few holes knowing what he had achieved.
He even birdied the last three holes for a second successive 66 and took third place in the tournament, one behind Scot Paul Lawrie and three behind Spain's Alvaro Quiros, who eagled the 18th for a notable double of his own after taking the Omega Dubai Desert Classic in February.
Only when he was being interviewed afterwards did the tears well up in Donald's eyes as he was asked what his father would have thought and done.
"He would have been very proud and he would just give me a big hug," he said.
"My father hopped into my head quite a few times (over the closing stretch).
"I didn't really look at a leaderboard until the 13th, but didn't see Rory's name and so knew it was mine."
McIlroy, who finished with another 71, has pulled out of this week's event in Thailand and on doctor's advice will stay in Dubai for a few days' rest before flying home.
He has been suffering from a virus and was even told it might be Dengue fever, so is looking forward to putting his clubs away until just before the Abu Dhabi Championship - Tiger Woods as well as Donald will be there too - on January 20-23.
"I think this week was one too many," said McIlroy, referring to a hectic recent schedule that has seen him make three trips to Asia and one to Bermuda.
"But Luke deserves it. Basically every time he's teed it up he's had a chance or he's finished in the top five or top ten.
"Mentally you have to be so good just to keep grinding out the scores when you need to.
"But I've made great progress this year - with my game, with my results, with everything.
"I feel like I'm swinging the club as good as I ever have and I feel like my body is as strong as it's ever been.
"I've won my first Major (by eight shots with a record score and at a younger age than any US Open Champion since Bobby Jones in 1933) and my goals are just to win tournaments and try to become a multiple Major Champion."

EAGLE AT LAST GIVES QUIROS TWO-SHOT WIN FROM PAUL LAWRIE

615,094 Euros prize boosts Lawrie to 18th
in season's table - his best since 2002

FROM THE EUROPEAN TOUR WEBSITE
Alvaro Quiros completed his own Dubai double as he added the Dubai World Championship presented by DP World to his Dubai Desert Classic title today.
The Spaniard holed a monster eagle putt on the final green to finish two shots clear of Aberdeen's Paul Lawrie (pictured right).
Quiros was two ahead of Lawrie overnight and doubled that with three opening birdies. But the Scot birdied five of the first seven and when Quiros had his third bogey at the ninth the Spaniard trailed by one.
Lawrie went from rough to sand on the 12th for a bogey that brought them level again, Quiros sank a seven foot birdie putt on the long 14th and, after Lawrie had missed from similar range at the short 17th, there was one in it playing the last.
The former Open Champion had eagled the 18th in the third round and Quiros had bogeyed it, but on their return the eagle came from Europe's biggest hitter for a round of 67 and 19 under par total.
Lawrie matched that score for solo second, one ahead of Luke Donald – whose 66 secured The Race to Dubai title.
Peter Hanson moved into the top 15 and claimed a share of The Race to Dubai $7,500,000 bonus pool with a fourth-place finish.
“From the beginning Paul was holing every single putt that he had,” said Quiros, who collected €922,645, as well as moving up to sixth in The Race to Dubai to claim a hefty share of the bonus pool.
“I was trying to enjoy the moment, and fight until the end. At least if you don't win the title, you're going to be close, and that's something positive.
“In general, it was a very good day of golf between him and me, and obviously Luke at the end, who obviously wants to finish with our own party again. It's unbelievable. You can never leave behind this guy. He's always coming back.
“Yesterday I heard a statistic about him about the third round (scores), that he played 67.5. That's unbelievable. Obviously he feels very well under pressure.”
Lawrie just missed out on the bonus pool, but at 18th in the final standings still enjoyed his best season on The European Tour since 2002. He has his 43rd birthday on January 1.
“I think anybody would tell you they are disappointed not to win,” he said. “I probably did enough to have a chance coming down 18, and that's all you can do. Alvaro, he's got at least 250 yards uphill into the wind on 18 with a three wood off a hanging lie. Any time you make a three off that lie, he's a worthy winner.
“I've enjoyed it. I have not played here before and it's been a great week and second is better than third.
“It's a big event, it's a big field, some great players. You're talking about Luke Donald, the first person to win the Order of Merit on both sides of the Atlantic. I finished a shot ahead of Luke this week - that's massive for me.”
Quiros' win has lifted him back into the Official World Golf Ranking's top 50 - all the way to 21st, in fact - just in time to secure a place in next April's Masters Tournament.
Runner-up Lawrie, meanwhile, improves from 163rd to 87th. Paul's cheque was for 615,094 Euros, his biggest European Tour payslip since 2001.
LAST WORD FROM THE PAUL LAWRIE WEBSITE:
I got off to a bit of a ropey start with ball striking but thankfully the putter was hot on the front nine 31 (-5). I bogeyed the 12th hole again, which gave Alvaro a lift as I hadn't looked like making a bogey.
I lipped out on the 10th, 11th and 14th for birdies, all with good putts which was a pity but overall to shoot 67 (-5) and give myself a chance to win was satisfying even though I'm disappointed not to win.
It's been a huge week for me and hopefully we can kick on now. I fly home tonight. I'm really looking forward to seeing Marian and the boys.

ONLY FOUR SCOTS INSIDE SAFETY ZONE AT TOUR SCHOOL FINAL Q

By COLIN FARQUHARSON Colin@scottishgolfview.com The first objective in the six-round golfing marathon called the European Tour Final Qualifying School is to survive the cut to the leading 70 players and ties after 72 holes. After two rounds at PGA Catalunya near Girona in North-east Spain, only four of the nine Scots in the field of 156 are inside the "safety" mark - Gary Orr, joint 26th on five-under 137, Chris Doak jt 51st on 139, on 139. Steven O'Hara, joint 64th on 140, the same mark as Alastair Forsyth. Two courses are being used - the par-72 Stadium course, over which the decisive final two rounds will be played, and the par-70 Tour course over which England's Sam Hutsby shot a 60 in Saturday's first round. Helensburgh's Orr has had only one bogey in 36 holes. Over the longer Stadium course today, he shot a flawless, three-under 69 with birdies at the long seventh, 13th and 18th. Doak had a two-under 68 on the shorter course, boeys at the 13th and 15th taking the edge of four-birdie effort. O'Hara had a 68, also on the shorter lay-out. He had no bogeys in the second round, compared with one double bogey and three bogeys in Saturday's opener. Forsyth shot a two-under 70 on the longer course, birdieing the sixth, long 12th, long 15th and short 16th but bogeying the 13th and 18th. Scott Drummond (joint 77th on 141), Callum Macaulay and Elliot Saltman, joint 98th on 143, Lloyd Saltman, joint 117th on 144 and Alan McLean (joint 134th on 146) all have a lot of good work to do over rounds three and four if they are to survive the 72-hole cut to the leading 70 and ties. Drummond's 66 over the shorter course had only one bogey, compared with one triple bogey and four bogeys in a Saturday 75 over the longer course. Macaulay shot a three-under 67 on the shorter course but he had a double bogey for the second day in a row. A bag of five birdies was a sign that he could make the cut but he has got eliminate the negatives. Elliot Saltman had a triple bogey 7 at the third on the shorter course but finished with a one-under 69, thanks to an eagle 3 at the 10th and birdies at the short eighth and 18th. Brother Lloyd improved from a 77 on Saturday to a 67 over the par-70 lay-out . It was the proverbial came of two halves for the Lothians man who once ranked among the best amateurs in the world. The outward half summed up his career as a pro - bogeys at the first, fifth and sixth. The inward half was a throwback to the days when on his day he was brilliant - coming home in six-under-par 29 with birdies at the 10-11-12 and then 16-17-18. Which Lloyd Saltman turns up for rounds three and four holds the key to him reaching the last two rounds. Canadian-resident Alan McLean was top Scot on Saturday with a 68. After a second-round 78 over the longer course he is the bottom of the Tartan heap. He bogeyed 7-8-9 and then 13-16-17 before double-bogeying the 18th. Birdies at the the third and 12th could do little for a 39-39 round.

It's an England 1-2 with Hutsby, Sullivan setting pace
By SARAH GWYNN
European Tour Press Officer
Sam Hutsby maintained his lead in the Qualifying School Final Stage as he followed up his stunning opening round of 60 with a three under par 69 on the Stadium Course at PGA Catalunya Resort, leaving him two shots clear of English compatriot Andy Sullivan.
The 23 year old had three birdies, two bogeys and an eagle on the longer of the two courses to reach 13 under par for the tournament, while Sullivan was hot on his heels after carding a six under par 66 on the Stadium Course to move to 11 under.
Hutsby admitted he was surprised to card such a good score on what he felt was an average day on the course.
”I’m absolutely chuffed to bits with a 69 because I didn’t feel like I played that well,” said the Lee-on-Solent player, who finished second at the 2009 Qualifying School Final Stage. “But I've been trying to improve my B-game so when I'm not quite at the races, I’m just trying to eliminate the double-bogeys, so it’s really pleasing. My short game was really tidy today which kept me in it.”
Having started on the tenth tee, Hutsby stormed into a commanding lead with an eagle at the 15th, but dropped shots at the 16th and 18th. He recovered with two birdies on the way home, however, and was delighted with his position.
“It was a bit of a tough day but I am happy,” said the former Walker Cup player, who finished 48th in the Challenge Tour Rankings this year. “After yesterday it was always going to be hard to match that on a tougher course so I’m in a good position.
“It’s a long week, though. Obviously we only do this once a year - play six rounds in a row and two practice rounds - so it’s mentally tough as well as the fitness aspect. I've worked hard on that so coming down the last few holes I hit some good shots, so it’s nice to get myself in a comfortable position with four rounds to go.”
Sullivan impressed with the joint-lowest round on the Stadium Course so far this week, having opened with a 65 on the Tour course in round one.
The 25 year old from Nuneaton was part of Great Britain and Ireland’s victorious Walker Cup team at Royal Aberdeen in September, turning professional soon after and making it through last week’s Qualifying School Second Stage.
“It’s just nice to be playing well and seeing the ball go in the hole,” said Sullivan. “It’s a bit different from last week, when I left it until the last minute to get through.
“I just seemed to steadily make a few birdies. I felt confident coming here after the way I played last week in the Second Stage. I just didn’t hole enough putts, but in the last round last week I started to hole a few putts and I came into this week with a bit more confidence.”
Peter Gustafsson and David McKenzie were two shots further back on nine under as the Swede equalled the best round of the day on the Tour course with a seven under par 63.
He said: “After changing my coach about a month and a half ago it’s been improving my game. It has been quite a big change in the swing, but it’s been better in terms of ball-striking so every time I trust it, it goes perfectly. The putter is very hot too so it’s been a great day for me.”
Seven players were in a share of fifth place, including Lloyd Kennedy, who holed out from 216 yards for an eagle at the par four fourth hole on the way to a four under par 66 on the Tour course.
Three-time European Tour champion Nick Dougherty finished the day on one over par after a 73 on the Stadium course, while last year’s winner, Simon Wakefield, was three over par for the tournament after a two over par 74 on the Stadium Course.

BRADLEY AND STEELE LEAD SHARK SHOOT-OUT IN FLORIDA

Keegan Bradley and Brendan Steele moved into the outright lead at the Franklin Templeton Shark Shootout on Saturday.
The American pair impressed with a 10-under 62 in better-ball play at the Tiburon Golf Club in Florida, for an overall score of 19-under through the opening two days.
That means they lead compatriots Mark Calcavecchia and Nick Price by one stroke, who shot a nine-under 63 on day two.
Calcavecchia and Price are both veterans on the over-50 Champions Tour, in stark contrast to the leading duo, who are both US PGA Tour rookies.
South African Rory Sabbatini and Venezuelan Jhonattan Vegas could only shoot a five-under 67 on day two, meaning they are two shots behind the leaders.
American Rickie Fowler and Colombian Camilo Villegas are a further shot back at 16-under.
The all-American pairings of Jerry Kelly and Steve Stricker, and Kenny Perry and Scott Stallings, are tied for fifth - four shots off the lead.
The event finishes with a scramble round today (Sunday).
