John  Henry ties for eighth place in Alps Tour four-rounder in France

John Henry (Clydebank and District) tied for eighth place in the Alps Tour's 72-hole tournament, the Open International de la Mirabelle d'Or at Golf de La Grange aux Ormes in France today (Sunday)

In a low scoring tournament, Henry earned 1,206 euros with rounds of 68, 68, 70 and 70 for eight-under-par 276 - seven behind the winner of the 6,525 euros first prize, Harry Casey from England.

Casey shot 67, 65, 69 and 68 for 269  to win by one shot from Damien Perrier

(France).

Scots John Gallagher (73-70 for 143), Scott Stewart-Cation (75-69 for 144) and James White (75-71 for 146) missed the cut which fell on 140.

Jack has his Senior moment at Aviemore,

 wins four-hole play-off

EUROPEAN TOUR COMMUNICATIONS
England’s Jack Senior produced some quite stunning golf at crucial moments to secure a maiden Challenge Tour title after a four-hole, sudden-death play-off at the SSE Scottish Hydro Challenge hosted by Macdonald Hotels and Resorts.
The 26 year old from Lancashire eagled the par four ninth hole at Macdonald Spey Valley Golf Club, Aviemore  to burst into back nine contention and then birdied the 13^th and 16^th holes before rolling home a 15 ft birdie putt on the 72^nd hole to secure a play-off with compatriot Robert Coles and Thailand’s Prom Meesawat.
Senior’s final round of four under 67 set the clubhouse target of 16 under par which was soon matched by Meesawat (68) and Coles (70).
Inseparable after 72 holes, the trio returned to the 18^th three times but a winner could not be determined so they moved to the first where Senior’s booming drive almost found the par four green. With Meesawat and Coles playing their second shots to 25 and 20 feet respectively, Senior knew he had a great chance if he could land his chip close.
With the pressure on again, the former Walker Cup player responded brilliantly again as he flopped his chip to just six inches.
With Meesawat and Coles missing their birdie putts, Senior was left the easiest winning putt he will ever have and tapped-in for a potentially career-changing victory worth €40,000 that propels him from 29^th to third in the Road to Oman Rankings and a great position to win one of the 15 European Tour cards on offer to the Challenge Tour’s finest at the end of the season.
“Hitting driver down the first in the play-off was massive,” said Senior.
 “I knew the other two guys didn’t have the firepower to get it over the hill. I hit driver there this morning and every time the wind was right I was going to hit driver because the shot really suited me.
 “I actually thought I could get it on the green if I got the right line but I was just happy I got it close and had a great lie so all I really had to do was flick it up there and it was always going to release to the pin.
Senior has been close to making his breakthrough on the Challenge Tour, most notably at the Made in Denmark Challenge but a poor final round saw him finish tied for fourth.
“I should have won in Denmark a few weeks ago but had a disappointing finish there so to come here just a few weeks later is very satisfying,” he smiled.
“The key today was the eagle on nine. I hit a great drive and just committed to it. I just thought ‘you have to stand up and be counted’ and I hit a great drive down there onto the green to about five feet and rolled in the putt.
“After that, which was just after I made a great birdie on eight from a horrendous lie, that’s when I thought that maybe I had a chance to win, that it might be my day. I knew I had been playing well enough to win recently but you just never know till you get over the line.”
