BROADHURST CAPTURES SENIOR BRITISH OPEN

Paul Broadhurst won the Senior British Open at Carnoustie in Scotland for his first senior major title, closing with a 4-under-par 68 for a two-stroke victory over

Scott McCarron. The 50-yearold overcame an opening 75 to become the third English player to win a PGA Tour Champions major, joining Mark James and

Roger Chapman. Broadhurst also is the first player to win the event in his debut since Fred

Couples in 2012 at Turnberry. Broadhurst shot 66 Friday and 68 Saturday to enter the final round four strokes behind leader Mi

guel Angel Jimenez. The winner birdied the sixth, 10th, 13th and 15th holes in his bogey-free round in mostly cloudy condi- tions with 8- to 16-mph wind and occasional drizzle. He finished at 11-under 277. McCarron bogeyed the par-3 16th and par-4 18th in his 69. Jimenez had a 75 to drop into a tie for third with Magnus

Atlevi (67) at 8 under. Broadhurst earned $279,144, a full PGA Tour Champions exemption through the 2017 season, a spot in the 2017 British Open at Royal Birkdale and a five-year exemption into the season-opening Mitsubishi Electric Championship at Hawaii. The 1991 Ryder Cup player won six times on the European Tour and also took the European Senior Tour’s Scottish Senior Open.
