Gale victory in Seniors Open

Australian Terry Gale birdied the final two holes to win the inaugural Bosch Italian Seniors Open yesterday at Circolo Golf Venezia by a stroke from England's David J Russell.

Gale fired a final round four under par 68 to claim his sixth title on the European Seniors Tour, while Russell's 71 saw him end runner-up for the second successive week.

South African Gavan Levenson and Scotland's John Chillas tied for third, two behind Gale.
