Baker-Finch weighing up comeback

FORMER British Open champion Ian Baker-Finch is mulling over a return to competitive golf after eight years away from the game.

Now 44, Baker-Finch’s game went downhill after his sole major win at Birkdale in 1991. He missed 32 cuts in a row on the US PGA Tour from 1994-97 and hit rock bottom at Troon in 1997 when he shot a 92.

The Australian has been working as a commentator on US television but is contemplating playing in some tournaments in Australasia this year.
