Woosnam cruises to victory in Amsterdam

Amsterdam, The Netherlands (SportsNetwork.com) – Ian Woosnam fired a 5-under 68 on Sunday and he cruised to a 5-stroke win at the Dutch Senior Open.

Woosnam finished at 11-under-par 208. This was his fifth victory on the European Senior Tour, but first since 2011.

The Welshman had two birdies and two bogeys in the first four holes. It was all pars and birdies from there.

Woosnam notched back-to-back birdies at eight and nine as he made the turn at minus-8. He parred the first five holes of the back nine, then pulled away from the field as he birdied three of the last four holes.

Second-round leader and last week’s winner Philip Golding stumbled to a 1-over 74 in the final round. He shared second place at minus-6 with George Ryall (73) and David J. Russell (68). Golding made double-bogey on the ninth to make the turn at 6-under, and he parred the final nine holes.

Ronan Rafferty (70) and Pedro Linhart (71) tied for fifth at 5-under-par 214.
