DELROY CAMBRIDGE of Jamaica captured his fifth European Senior Tour title – and his first for seven years – as a three hole play-off was required for the second successive week to decide the Jersey Seniors Classic at La Moye.

Cambridge beat Australian Mijke Clayton after getting up and down from a greenside bunker at the third sudden-death play for a par four, while Clayton failed with his own par putt after visiting a different trap.

The powerful 59 year old Jamaican was recording his second victory in Jersey – and he drew on the memories of his previous success in 2002 to help him catch Clayton, who had led since shooting 64 on the opening day.

Cambridge admitted: ‘I remembered last night that I was five under par going into the final round seven years ago and shot 68 to win. This time I was also five under and I went to sleep believing that another 68 might just do it again. As it turned out, I was right!’
