Senior wins Australian open

Peter Senior outlasted Geoff Ogilvy in a sudden-death play-off to seal his third Australian PGA Championship title in dramatic style Monday, 21 years after his first win.

Senior, 51, won with a par on the second extra hole at the Coolum course after last week’s Australian Open winner Ogilvy missed his two-metre par putt.

It was Senior’s 28th career title, his 20th on the Australasian PGA Tour and he is the oldest winner of Australia’s oldest professional title.
