South African Chris Williams claimed his maiden European Senior Tour title in spectacular fashion with a seven under par final round 64 to win The Aberdeen Brunei Senior Masters presented by The Stapleford Forum.
Williams finished second to Boonchu Ruagnkit on the2010 Senior Tour Order of Merit after a series of near misses but he succeeds Ruangkit as champion in Brunei following a dramatic final day comeback at The Empire Hotel and Country Club.
After finishing runner up three times in two seasons on the Senior Tour, and recording 12 top ten finishes last year – the most of any player – Williams admitted it was a huge relief to finally get his hands on a trophy.
“The first one is always the hardest,” he said. “I’ve been runner up three times and close on a number of other occasions so people do start to talk about it. It’s nice to get that monkey off your back.
“My last victory was in 2003 and you do wonder if you will win again. To do it against players I competed again on The European Tour – Barry Lane, Ian Woosnam, Sandy Lyle, Sam Torrance – was extra special.
“I always felt like I was capable of winning but someone would always play better than me on the last day or have a crucial putt so it’s great to finally do it.”
