O’Sullivan aims for improvement on Seniors Tour

DENIS O’SULLIVAN will embark upon the European Seniors tour next week with two targets uppermost — to improve on last season’s ninth place in the order of merit and to make the Warburg Cup team for the first time.

O'Sullivan, who celebrated his 55th birthday this week, spent the past three weeks in Spain preparing for his sixth season on tour. Unfortunately for him, his plans were frustrated by weather conditions.

"The first two weeks were virtually washed-out by rain, but fortunately the last week was good and I am happy with the state of my game."
