Peter Fowler will lead a three strong Australian assault at the European Senior Tour’s inaugural foray into Finland this week.

The European Tour Properties Senior Classic will be held at the Linna Golf Club with Fowler, Mike Harwood and Peter O’Malley flying the Australian flag.

A new event on the Senior Tour schedule, the tournament marks the beginning of a run of events between now and October which form the bulk of the over 50’s schedule.

Fowler is a five-time winner since joining the Senior Tour in 2009 while Harwood has won once in the same timeframe.

Peter O’Malley is playing his second full season in 2017 having turned 50 in mid-2015 and yet to secure a maiden title.
