Peter Senior's first event on the Champions Tour for 2012 has ended in great disappointment after falling to Corey Pavin in a playoff for the Allianze Championship. Senior birdied the final hole in regulation play to join former US Open champion Corey Pavin at 11-under par and force the championship into extra holes. It was Pavin who struck the first blow in the playoff, sinking a 12ft birdie putt on the opening hole of the sudden-death shootout to deny Senior his maiden Champions Tour victory after Senior holed out for his par 5.
After a terrific season in 2011, Peter Senior has continued his solid play and proved himself to be one of the most consistent players on the Champions Tour. This marks Senior's 3rd playoff loss on the Champions Tour as well as his 5th runner-up finish.
Other than a struggle on the greens, Senior's statistics for the week at The Old Course at Broken Sound were most impressive.....Driving accuracy 90.48%, rank 1st....Greens in regulation 83.33%, rank 2nd....Scrambling 88.89%, rank 1st. For his efforts, Senior collected a solid cheque for US$158,400.
Great effort Pete!
