Nach der Open Championship letzte Woche treten die Senioren in dieser Woche zu ihrem Major auf der Insel an. Es geht zur Senior Open Championship auf den Carnoustie Golfplatz. Zu den Topfavoriten gehört Bernhard Langer, der in diesem Jahr schon zwei Majors gewann und auch bei der Senior Open schon Erfolge feiern konnte. Bei der letzten Ausgabe belegte er den zweiten Platz, vor zwei Jahren ging Langer als Sieger vom Platz.
Entsprechend prominent ist der Flight, mit dem der Anhäuser auf die ersten beiden Runden geht. An der Seite des Titelverteidigers Marco Dawson und dem Spanier und Zigarre rauchenden Publikumsliebling Miguel Angel Jimenez startet Langer am Donnerstag um 10:20 Uhr deutscher Zeit ins Turnier. Auf die zweite Runde geht es für die drei am Freitag um 14:50 Uhr. Ein weiterer Flight wird das Publikum anziehen: Colin Montgomerie, der es in der vergangenen Woche bei der Open Championship in seinem Heimatclub Royal Troon in die Finalrunde schaffte, teet zusammen mit John Daly und Tom Watson auf.
