South Africa’s David Frost wasted no time falling in love with the course. He was ffth on debut in 2009 and, six visits later, that frst effort remained his “worst” fnish. He was victorious in 2010 and 2012, and fnished top three on another four occasions. It needed something special to stop Frost fromwinning early in that stretch. Indeed, it took nothing less than the 1996 Open champion and former World No. 1 Tom Lehman to force him into second in 2011. If Frost’s dominance was expected – he has been a formidable presence on the PGA Tour through the 1980s and 90s – the back-to-back wins of Paul Wesselingh in 2013 and 2014 were slightly less predictable. True, he had hit the senior circuit running, but he had never established himself on the European Tour. No matter, that frst win saw him go head-to-head with Colin Montgomerie in the fnal round and emerge triumphant in style.

Two years later Monty returned to the island and had his revenge, overhauling Frost’s early lead to win by three and he was succeeded by his European Ryder Cup team-mate Barry Lane, who had twice fnished second before tasting success.

In the last three renewals going low in the fnal round has been essential. Thailand’s ThawornWiratchant carded a Sunday 62 for an eight shot win in 2017, American Clark Dennis matched that winning margin with a fnal lap 64, and Jarmo Sandelin turned a four shot defcit into a three shot win with a fnal round 65 in 2019.
