Paul Lawrie looks to defend his title at the Farmfoods European Senior Masters in La Manga
Paul Lawrie says he is excited to be back defending his Farmfoods European Senior Masters title.
His comments come as one of golf’s most anticipated senior events of the year draws ever closer.
The newly refurbished Grand Hyatt La Manga Golf and Spa resort will play host to the Farmfoods European Senior Masters between the 2nd – 5th of November.
Now widely regarded as one of the world’s most stunning and prestigious golf courses, La Manga will welcome talent such as Ian Woosnam OBE, Michael Campbell, Peter Fowler and Spanish players Miguel Angel Martin and Jose Manuel Carriles.
Hosted by the three-time European Tour winner and Ryder Cup star, Peter Baker, the event will also include reigning champion Paul Lawrie OBE, Jarmo Sandelin, Costantino Rocca, Phillip Price, Gary Wolstenholme MBE, Thomas Levet and Mark Mouland.
They will be competing with the current champion Lawrie, who just pipped Michael Jonzon to victory last year after both finished 17 under par, for the €50,000 prize on one of the best golf courses in the world.
Looking ahead to the event, title-holder Lawrie said: ”It was great to win my third Legends Tour title here last year and I’m so excited to get back to defend it.
“This is a fantastic venue in a beautiful location and I’m looking forward to it already.”
The Grand Hyatt La Manga Club Golf & Spa is home to three of the best 18-hole golf courses in Europe. Spectators and players alike will have the pleasure of enjoying the lovely surrounding area whilst immersing themselves in the golfing action, bringing the experience to a different level of enjoyment.
The La Manga Club Resort in Murcia, southeast Spain, has undergone extensive refurbishment with the heart of it being a new 18,298-square-foot (1,700–square–meter) world-class wellness centre.
“We are very proud that the organisation of the Farmfoods European Senior Masters has once again entrusted La Manga Club with such international recognition. It is an honour to enjoy the talent and experience of the best golf stars once again on the Legends Tour for all of us who are passionate about golf,” said Pedro Sánchez, Director of Golf at La Manga Club.
