Harvey wants to put his own name of

PGA Seniors championship trophy

Scotland’s Garry Harvey will try to engrave his own name on the De Vere Collection PGA Seniors Championship trophy next week.

The Kinross-attached golf professional, who does a neat sideline in engraving – including inscribing the names of the past four Open champions on the Claret Jug, will make his third consecutive appearance in the event, which is at Slaley Hall from August 21-24.

Harvey will take on some of golf’s biggest names including former Ryder Cup stars Ian Woosnam, Costantino Rocca and two-time champion Sam Torrance in the £300,000 tournament.

The 53-year-old Harvey, originally from Perth, secured his place after finishing in the top 20 at the Senior PGA Professional Championship in May.

He will be chasing a £50,000 winner’s cheque, the biggest prize in the tournament’s 52-year history after the Championship was reunited with De Vere, who previously sponsored the event between 1996 and 2005.

The tournament, which will be played over the Dave Thomas-designed Hunting Course, is one of only two 72-hole championships on the Seniors Tour – the other being the Seniors Open.A field of 120 will compete for the title, which has previously been won by the likes of Open Championship winners Max Faulkner, Kel Nagle and Peter Thomson, while Christy O'Connor lifted the title no fewer than six times.
