Among the many notable achievements in a landmark season on the Senior Tour for Peter Fowler, one particularly impressive milestone was his passing the €1 million mark for total career winnings since turning 50.
A remarkable three weeks in May and June saw the Australian finish runner-up at the SSE Enterprise Wales Senior Open, before securing back-to-back victories in the Acorn Jersey Open and the ISPS Handa PGA Seniors Championship.
These were the 56 year old’s fourth and fifth Senior Tour wins and his first since the 2013 French Riviera Masters, where the Tour returns next week for the sixth year.
Last year saw Philip Golding clinch his second Senior Tour victory when he triumphed at the Terre Blanche Hotel Spa Golf Resort, a member of The European Tour Properties network of world-class venues.
Golding’s victory meant the Englishman became the first player in history to win in the same country on The European Tour, the Challenge Tour and the Senior Tour.
The 53 year old passed a milestone of his own this year, topping €500,000 for total winnings since joining the Senior Tour, and he has claimed three top five finishes this season to suggest he has enough form to retain his French Riviera Masters title next week.
With just two events remaining on the 2015 Senior Tour Schedule Colin Montgomerie is once again dominating the Order of Merit, having claimed two wins, including the Travis Perkins Masters, in only four starts this year.
The Scot has won €614,011 this season, only €10,000 shy of his record total from last season which he is on course to beat with a good finish in the season-closing MCB Tour Championship in Mauritius.
