    If you could shake Glenn Ralph, he'd probably rattle due to the amount of pills he’s taking, but despite the ailments the defending champion once again excelled on the Torrance Course at the Fairmont St Andrews to share the lead in the Cleveland Golf/Srixon Scottish Senior Open.

    At 6ft 3in and 17-and-a-half stone, it might be a push to shake the 54-year-old Englishman anyway, but he is a walking advertisement for the marvels of modern medication as he put together an outstanding four-under 68 to share the lead with South African Chris Williams after a blustery day on the Kingask clifftop.

    Ralph has had a tough time since his victory 12 months ago — his first pro win of any kind in a 35-year career — and was diagnosed with type two diabetes earlier this summer, while struggling with arthritis in his ankle as a result of a break two years ago, hence the need for medication.
