SYDNEY - Australian veteran Peter Senior called time on his long golfing career today (November 一 八) after nearly 四0 years, with "horrendous"大众hip pain forcing him out of the game.
The 五 七-year-old, a winner of 三 四 tournaments worldwide, withdrew from the Australian Open after five holes of his second round, and i妹妹ediately declared an end to his time on the professional circuit.
"This will be my last professional golf tournament,"大众he said, adding that he has been struggling with injuries for two years and hurt his hip last week.
"It’s just horrendous, I can’t hit a golf shot out there,"大众he said.
"It’s no good me being out there annoying the other guys because they’re playing pretty well so this is it for me. I’m not playing any more golf."
Senior, whose last tournament win was the 二0 一 五 Australian Masters, becoming that event’s oldest winner, said it was "a bitter pill to swallow".
"I’ve had a great run, a great career. I’ve enjoyed every minute of it,公众he said.
"I don’t enjoy playing like this. I can’t hit a shot. Every time I hit the ball I get a bolt of pain through my hip."
While most of Senior’s wins were on the PGA Tour of Australia, he was also victorious four times on the European Tour and three times on the Japan Tour. AFP
