Paul Broadhurst battles back to claim Senior Open title
Miguel Angel Jimenez opened a four-stroke lead in the Senior British Open, missing matching the Carnoustie course record by a stroke Saturday with a seven-under 65. “I’d have been delighted with second, to be honest”, Broadhurst admitted.

Japan’s Kohki Idoki, the other pace-setter, fared even worse and slipped to a share of 18th after putting together four consecutive bogeys on the back nine.
Broadhurst, whose best Open finish is a tie for 12th in both 1990 and 2007, secured a maiden senior major after six previous wins on the European Tour, two on the European Seniors Tour and one on the Champions Tour in America.
The 52-year-old Spaniard had a bogey-free round in wind at 6-12 miles per hour on the mostly cloudy afternoon. “These sort of things don’t seem to happen to me”.
But Boineau, the world No 286, fired a 67 to haul herself to 11-under, a shot ahead of Wessberg (68) and two clear of Morgan and the American Beth Allen.
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. Full coverage of the Masters, Open Championship, US Open, US PGA Championship and the Ryder Cup. I have 28 years already on the Tour now and you manage to float around the golf course but relaxing to me is not that you don’t care. “Go for dinner with friends, have a nice bottle of Rioja, a fat cigar and a nice malt whiskey”. My iron play today I thought was really good. “Yeah, the hard work I’ve put in paid off this week”.
England’s Paul Broadhurst also looked sharp at Carnoustie on his way to a 68 and now sits in a tie for second on seven-under alongside Americans Wes Short, Tom Byrum and overnight leader Joe Durant.

Broadhurst played his final 45 holes in 14 under after going 3 over on his first 27. Broadhurst opened with a 75 and had a 66 on Friday. (73) were another stroke back.
