Argentina’s Cesar Monasterio romped to a maiden victory at the English Senior Open in just his fifth start on the European Senior Tour.
Having led by three shots overnight at Rockliffe Hall, County Durham, following a course record-equalling 63 on Saturday, the 50 year old Tucuman native put together a serene two under par 70 to finish five clear of England’s Barry Lane (70) and Scotland’s Andrew Oldcorn (67) and with it become the second rookie in succession to win on the Senior Tour.
England’s Paul Eales finished tied fourth after a best-of-the-day 66, alongside Scotsman Ross Drummond (73).
But it was a result that never really looked in doubt, as Monasterio calmly plotted his way to an aggregate total of 202, 14 under par, to seal a memorable victory and a winner’s cheque of €37,503.
