Walsall-born Paul Broadhurst, 51 next month, covered his last 45 holes in 14 under par to win the Senior Open championship at Carnoustie today. He had been three over par after 27 holes.

The 1989 European Tour Rookie of the Year and 1991 Ryder Cup player shot rounds of 75, 66, 68 and 68 for an 11-under aggregate of 279 - two strokes ahead of American Scott McCarron with Spain's Miguel Angel Jimenez and Magnus Atlevi (Sweden) tied for third place on 280.
Broadhurst earned 251,485 euros, probably the biggest payday in his long professional career. It was the ninth win as a professional. His last two wins have both been in Scotland.
Jimenez had a closing round of 75 which included double bogey 6s at the 10th and 18th. The Spaniard earned 84,921 euros
Andrew Oldcorn, one of two Scots to survive the halfway cut, finished T44 on 294 after a final round of 74. Oldcorn earned 7,808 euros
The other Scot, Gordon Manson, who has lived so long in Austria he took up citizenship of that country, finished a shot ahead of Oldcorn on 293 for a T41 placing. He earned 9,243 euros.
