Round 1, Round 2
David Shacklady won his second Staysure Tour title as a six under par final round 66 sealed the outcome of The Sinclair Invitational at Hanbury Manor Marriott Hotel and Country Club.
The Englishman carded a bogey-free final round to reach 11 under par and win on home soil by one shot ahead of Austriaโs Markus Brier and two shots ahead of close friend Paul Streeter, who finished third on nine under par.
It could have been very different for Shacklady as he saw a short birdie putt slide by on the 72nd hole to miss out on taking what would have been โ at the time โ the outright lead, but a triple bogey eight on the penultimate hole for co-leader Phillip Price meant the Welshman dropped back into the pack and victory was confirmed for the 2018 VTB Russian Open Golf Championship (Senior) winner.
โI canโt tell you what it means,โ he said. โTo win one title was amazing and I know itโs a clichรฉ, but people say you validate it by winning another and this season has gradually improved for me.
โI felt exactly the same as I did the first time. I felt as calm as I did in Russia and I genuinely became focused on just trying to win and post the lowest number. Itโs nice to be able to repeat it.
โI played very well. I have been playing well prior to getting here this week, but you never know if youโre going to continue it.

โI knew I had a good chance on the back nine but then to be honest, the little one at the last for birdie, I thought that was going to mean I was in a play-off or maybe lose by one.
โI knew I was hitting it well and I knew I was going to give myself chances but I got on a nice run, in a nice frame of mind and I kept doing what my coach has been telling me and it worked out beautifully.โ
The 52-year-old was joined at Hanbury Manor by his wife and three children and was overjoyed to provide them with the perfect conclusion to the week having been disappointed to bogey the final hole to miss the cut by a single shot the last time his family attended a tournament at The Senior Open Presented by Rolex.
โMy family were there at Lytham when I bogeyed the last to miss the cut and they were all devasted I wasnโt there at the weekend, as I was,โ he said.
โYou just have to pick yourself up and go again. There are far more lows in golf than highs โ there always have been and there always will be.
โIโm back out again next year and thatโs all I want. I want to play, and play, and play and I wouldnโt trade this โ being out here on this Tour โ for anything in the world. Itโs incredible.โ
The 2018 Qualifying School graduate was typically humble in victory and offered some kind words to Price, whose triple bogey on the 71st hole was only the second time he dropped shots all week.

โWe were stood at the last when Phil was coming in and he was signing autographs as he was coming off,โ he said. โThat says everything you need to know about Phil Price.
โHeโs one of the nicest guys youโll ever meet and a class act with it. It is horrible that itโs gone that way but he will be the first one to come and shake my hand and say โwell doneโ. Heโs a gentleman and a good friend as well.โ
Despite that triple bogey costing him a shot at victory, Price finished in fourth place on eight under par which means he leapfrogs Paul Broadhurst and Bernhard Langer to take top spot on the Order of Merit, with Shackladyโs victory seeing him climb seven places into fifth position.
