The MCB Tour Championship – Mauritius: The Legends Tour’s season-ender returns to the Indian Ocean | PlanetSport

Winners here have tended to be high quality: PGA Tour stars David Frost (twice) and Tom Lehman, plus the Ryder Cuppers Colin Montgomerie, Barry Lane and Sandelin. That Asian Tour legend Thaworn Wiratchant won on debut by eight shots was no great surprise: the two key factors (grainy greens and need for accuracy) were made for him. The leading contenders Stephen Dodd A four-time winner on the circuit, the Welshman landed the last of those victories in last summer's British Senior Open at Sunningdale. It vaulted him on to the Champions Tour but, a reluctant traveller, he's struggled there with no top 20 in eight starts. He's encountered problems on this course, too, with just one top 25 (15th) in four tries. Thomas Levet The six-time European Tour winner has enjoyed a sparkling 2021 season, landing back-to back victories in the Legends Open de France and Scottish Senior Open in September. He'll be making his tournament debut. Markus Brier The Austrian endured seven top three fnishes on the circuit before fnally lifting a trophy in the European Senior Masters last October. He's also struggled with the course, though. His two starts are yet to reap a top 25 fnish. James Kingston The friendly South African left the Indian Ocean an exceptionally frustrated man in late 2019 after completing back-to-back runner-up fnishes, his 17th and 18th top fve fnishes on the tour. He stuck to his task, however, plugged on, and landed both the WINSTONgolf Senior Open and Senior Italian Open last year. Philip Price The Welshman, famous for not only defeating Phil Mickelson in the 2022 Ryder Cup but celebrating with one of the all-time great fst-pumps, has found the course a neat ft for his game, earning three top four fnishes. He's a two-time runner-up in the 2021 season. Paul Lawrie A winner of the 2019 Scottish Senior Open early in his career on the circuit, the 1999 Open champion went 6-for-6 at landing top 10s in regular events this season, but he missed the cut in the Senior British Open. He fnished seventh on his course debut in 2019, but did card the second low score in the frst and fnal rounds - he was stymied by a poor 74 in round two.
