Torrance eager to begin

SAM TORRANCE becomes the latest new kid on the block when he makes his European Seniors Tour debut at the Charles Church Scottish Seniors Open that starts at The Roxburghe Golf Club today.

The former Ryder Cup captain turned 50 on Sunday and makes his first appearance against a strong field.

The Scot, who won 21 times during a sparkling 30-year career on the European Tour, said: “This is a moment I have been looking forward to for the last three or four years. I can honestly say I have been counting the days until I reached 50 and its particularly special because I will be making my debut in front of my home fans.
