With the 100th Irish PGA Championship only a few week's away at Seapoint Golf Club, Des Smyth started his preparation well with a two-stroke victory at the Travis Perkins plc Senior Masters, recording a historic win after signing for a final round 69. In blustery conditions on the Duke's Course at Woburn, Smyth recorded a win for the first time in three years with the overnight leader, Carl Mason of England, carding a double bogey on the 14th and then a bogey on the 18th to finish on a two over par 74 - two shots behind Smyth. http://www.rte.ie/sport/golf/2010/0905/smythd.html
