Returned to Tour golf after a 15 year absence during which time he turned his attentions to running a family engineering business in Dundee. Missed his card in 2005 but returned for “the last throw of the dice” in 2006 and came up with the winning number, a birdie four seeing him edge out Frenchman Philippe Dugeny in a play-off for the fourth ranked card. The former Walker Cup player is now looking ahead to renewing acquaintances with the other Scottish former European Tour players on the Senior Tour, notably Sandy Lyle with whom he came close to winning the World Cup in 1980, finishing second.
