Former Southampton and England footballer Matt Le Tissier fought off the challenge of 38 fellow ex-pros to win the recent Addison Lee Footballers’ Golf Classic at La Manga Club, Spain.

Goalkeeping legend Pat Jennings had set the early pace on the first two days of the competition but a strong final round from Le Tissier saw him take the coveted crystal trophy by one point.

Le Tissier, who plays off six, said: “I’m absolutely thrilled and delighted to have finally won this event after trying for five years.”

The team event was also won by a single point. The Goodies, made up of Alan Lindsey (handicap two), Mark Seagraves (eight), and Claire Fensome (eight), amassed 257 points over the 54 holes beating the Property Boys into second place.

The runners-up are now considering changing their name to The Bridesmaids –  this was their fourth consecutive second-place finish in the event!
