Australian veteran and three-time PGA Tour winner Rod Pampling has no time to reflect on his long career on the main tour. Not with his Champions Tour chapter about to begin.
A year that already is among the most memorable of Steve Stricker’s career added another chapter today when he won the US Senior Open in dominant fashion at Warren Golf Course at Notre Dame.
To win on the same green where his late compatriot, Seve Ballesteros, had indulged in one of golf’s most iconic celebrations was, for the 54-year-old, a clearly emotional experience.
The victory was only his second in an individual competition and his first Major on the senior circuit, in contrast to 22 of his 34 US PGA Tour victories and one of his three Majors coming in his 40s.
