Boyd on top in Seniors Finals

American Bob Boyd finished as the star pupil at the European Seniors Tour Qualifying School Finals following a brilliant show over the Pinta Course at Pestana Golf Resort in the Algarve.

Boyd completed a wire to wire victory with a final round four under par 67 to finish seven strokes ahead of compatriot Rex Caldwell, who carded a 68.

The top eight finishers secured their full cards for next season and so also heading for the 2005 European Seniors Tour are Englishmen Kevin Spurgeon, Gordon Townhill and Martin Foster, Lee Carter from the US, Spain’s Emilio Rodriguez, and Jean Sallat.
