A VETERAN golfer has capped a fine season by winning the Worcestershire Senior Open.
Ken Murton headed a field of 70 competitors after a nail-biting finish at the North Worcestershire course in Northfield.
The 70-year-old pipped friend Willie Kerr to the title he last won six years ago by one shot and his gross 72 was two shots clear of third-placed Tony Jowle.
Yet his victory is just the latest in a string of achievements for the four handicapper this year.
Murton, who has played the sport for more than 40 years, claimed the English Senior Open crown in the over 70s category in June and won the UK Senior Golf Association Midlands event in Worcester in July.
He was also victorious in the veterans cup at his home Boughton Park club.
Murton said: "When you get to 70 you don't win too many things. I have had a superb season really and this has capped it off lovely."
