An overcast but fine early morning greeted Marshy as he started his final round from the 10th tee at 8.50am. Andy gave himself very makeable birdie putts at both the 10th and 11th, but neither found the hole. At the par-three 12th, however, a lovely putt from 15 feet got his round into red figures. At the 13th, following a lay-up, he failed to get up and down and had to settle for a par five. A regulation par four followed at the 14th, with his first putt coming from 45 feet. An excellent drive and approach at the 15th were rewarded with a birdie, and an even better approach at the 16th left him just three feet from the hole. Somehow, the putt slipped past, and he had to settle for par. At the 17th, a tee shot found the middle of the green, followed by a comfortable two-putt par. Two fine shots into the par-five 18th then left Andy with an eagle opportunity. His first putt finished close enough for a tap-in birdie, completing his opening nine in 33 shots, three under par. Excellent tee shots at the 1st and 2nd produced further birdie opportunities, but both putts narrowly missed. Another two-putt par followed at the 3rd. At the par-five 4th, an excellent drive and second shot left Marshy with a 20-foot eagle putt, which he confidently holed for a three. This was followed by another excellent putt from 15 feet for birdie at the 5th, and suddenly Andy was six under par for the day! At the par-five 6th, he elected to lay up, but his birdie putt just missed. The 7th then produced what I can only describe as one of the finest recovery shots I have ever witnessed. A slightly pulled tee shot finished behind a tree, leaving Andy with more trees to negotiate and water waiting on the left. Taking a five iron, Marshy produced an extraordinary shot, cutting the ball around the trees and over the water before finding the green. Two putts later, he had recorded an unbelievable par four. A truly magnificent recovery! At the 8th, his tee shot just caught the bunker, but a fine recovery with an eight iron and two putts from 45 feet kept the round going. At his final hole, the par-five 9th, another fine drive and second shot left him just short of the front edge of the green. A chip and putt secured one final birdie. Marshy signed for a superb seven-under-par 66, climbing to a share of 21st place. Another excellent tournament and a wonderful example of the importance of hanging in there when the putts aren't dropping. It would have been so easy, after the frustrations of the earlier rounds, simply to go through the motions. But Marshy showed once again what a class player he is. His determination was rewarded with a fine closing round and another move up the Legends Tour Order of Merit, where he now sits in 13th place. A terrific finish to another week on tour! Jean Hugo Completes a Remarkable Hat-Trick Meanwhile, at the top of the leaderboard, South Africa's Jean Hugo produced another outstanding performance to claim the Champions UK plc European Senior Masters title at La Manga.
