Jarmo Sandelin ended the long wait for his second Legends Tour title, by claiming victory in the Swiss Seniors Open at Golf Club Bad Ragaz.

The former Ryder Cup player’s only other Legends Tour triumph came in the 2019 MCB Tour Championship in Mauritius, as he started Sunday in the final group, but one shot behind his playing partners – Andrew Marshall and Adilson Da Silva.

The Swede made birdies at two of the opening three holes, before a run of three in a row around the turn would see him step onto the 11th tee with a three-shot lead.

Elsewhere, Clark Dennis was putting together one of the rounds of the day. He would sign for a 65 giving him a 7th place finish – another result which boosts the confidence for the winner of last month’s Costa Navarino Legends Tour Trophy.

Adilson Da Silva ended the week 10th after a disappointing final round of 73, while Andrew Marshall would have to settle for 4th with his Sunday 71.

Three straight pars from the 11th to 13th holes had ensured Sandelin steadied the ship and with a run of pars until the 16th when he would make bogey before entering the final two holes with a two-shot lead.

He would par 17 and bogey 18, to sign for a 67 and take the top spot by a single stroke on ten under par, his first victory in more than four-and-a-half years, “It means a lot, I’m back on track and playing good.

“It’s very nice, my older son Luke has caddied for me in Mauritius when I won in 2019, so it’s nice – very good!

“I’ve been working really hard on my game the last two months, so I’m very happy to be able to get this win. It’s a sign that you are doing the right thing. I have a few things I have been working on, to try to get more distance because most of the guys hit it so much further than me.

“The confidence boost is great – I think more good things will happen in the future.”

The MCB Road to Mauritius rankings now sees Sandelin move up to ninth, while Peter Baker’s strong finish ensures that he leapfrog’s Richard Green to sit in second place just 49.1 points behind Scott Hend who leads the list.

The Legends Tour players, including Sandelin, are next at Carnoustie for the Senior Open presented by Rolex, a week before the Tour’s flagship event – the Staysure PGA Seniors Championship at Trump International Golf Links.
