Gary Orr clinched the Paris Legends Championship to record back-to-back victories on the Staysure Tour after carding a final round of 68, four under par.
Orr won his first title in 18 years at the Scottish Senior Open before claiming the victory at Racing Club de France La Boulie 26 days later, adding to his British Masters and Portuguese Open wins on the European Tour in 2000.
The Scot followed up his opening rounds of 71 and 65 with another sub-70 round, including a birdie-birdie finish to win the title by one shot ahead of Markus Brier and Jean-François Remesy.
Overnight leader Mark Mouland fell away at the start of the day as a chasing pack of Brier, Paul Eales, Orr and Remesy battled it out.
Orr said: “It’s been a dream run since Willow. I started to play well at Willow and I’ve carried that on so I’m delighted.
“I tweaked my back at home in the week after the Scottish Senior Open, so I haven’t done an awful lot of practice. I didn’t play at Forest of Arden last
week because it was still a
bit sore, so I came here to
see how it would hold up and it has worked out way beyond my expectations.
“I hadn’t won for 18 years since I played on the European Tour, but now it feels like I only had to wait a few days for the second win to come around. Golf is a bit like that, you never know what to expect.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
