The familiar surroundings of Woburn Golf Club once again proved to be to the liking of Aussie veteran Peter O’Malley who rose 13 places in the final round to finish the Travis Perkins Masters tied for 11th.

Despite a late charge from American Clark Dennis, Englishman Paul Streeter completed a wire-to-wire win, his final round of 73 good enough to record a two-shot win, his first seniors crown on the European Staysure Tour.

O’Malley was tied for 21st when he played Woburn for the first time at the 1989 Dunhill British Masters and was tied for ninth in 1991, finishing seven shots behind champion Seve Ballesteros.

When he made eagle at the par-5 fifth and followed it up with a birdie 2 at the 155-metre par-3 sixth in the opening round O’Malley looked set to contend for the title this week but two double bogeys on the back nine saw him sign for a 1-over 73.

A second round of 74 had him sitting outside the top 20 but four birdies alongside a disappointing dropped shot at the last delivered a Sunday 69 and his best finish of the year.

Following on from his win at the Willow Senior Golf Classic last week, Peter Fowler finished with a flurry to complete his week with a 1-under 71 and a tie for 29th, one shot ahead of Mike Harwood who had rounds of 74-74-72.

It was a bright start on the Champions Tour for Kiwi Michael Long who finished tied for 31st at the Shaw Charity Classic in Canada.

A Monday qualifier after celebrating his 50th birthday earlier in the week, the 2018 WA PGA champion moved inside the top-25 with a third round of 3-under 67 but three bogeys in his final six holes on Sunday saw him drop six places on the leaderboard.

New Zealand countryman Grant Waite was also tied for 31st with a final round of 70 with the lone Aussie, David McKenzie, recovering from a first round 77 to shoot a second consecutive 68 and a tie for 61st.
