Bob Charles to play PGA Seniors Championship
Last updated:
Former Open champion Bob Charles will be playing in the PGA Seniors Championship at De Vere Slaley Hall from August 21-24.
The 72-year-old will tee it up alongside the likes of Sam Torrance and Costantino Rocca in the hunt for the record prize fund of £300,000.
The New Zealander has won 75 professional tournaments worldwide and was the first left-hander to lift the Claret Jug when he triumphed at Royal Lytham & St Annes in 1963.
“Many things keep me going, not one thing in particular,” said Charles. “I love the game of golf and I don’t have any aches or pains. I’m in terrific shape for 72 years of age and I enjoy the competition.
“I aim to be competitive and my ambition now is to beat my age each round I play and to play consistent golf.”
