Johnstone reveals battle against MS

EUROPEAN Tour golfer Tony Johnstone has spoken about contracting multiple sclerosis and his luck at being given drugs treatment to allow him to continue playing.

The 49-year-old Zimbabwean, winner of the Volvo PGA championship at Wentworth in 1992, kept the diagnosis of the illness quiet last year because he still had to tell his widowed mother.

Now he is only too happy to talk.
