Break benefits Brown

Mark Brown’s decision five years ago to take a break from golf paid handsome dividends when the New Zealander claimed his second victory in as many weeks with a three-shot win at the Johnnie Walker Classic.

Brown came from four strokes down to overhaul Japan’s Taichiro Kiyota at the DLF Golf and Country Club near Delhi yesterday for the biggest win of his career in an event tri-sanctioned by the European Tour, Asian Tour and PGA Tour of Australasia.
