Ian Woosnam has set his sights on more Major glory at this July’s Senior Open Championship Presented by Rolex at Sunningdale Golf Club after rediscovering the winning feeling.

The 1991 Masters Champion ended the 2014 European Senior Tour season on a high with victory in the Dutch Senior Open – his first Senior Tour title for three years – after reviewing his swing at the European Tour Performance Institute at Terre Blanche Resort.

Having made successful subsequent trips to the south of France since that victory, he returned to the winners’ enclosure on the US Champions Tour last week, defeating American pair Kenny Perry and Tom Lehman in a play-off at the Insperity Invitational.

Now the former World Number One is hoping to carry that momentum through to the Senior Major Championships, which begin later this month with the US PGA Championship presented by KitchenAid, and he believes Sunningdale, where he won the European Open in 1988, presents him with a good chance of success.

“The thing I’ve got to look at now is winning Major tournaments,” said the 2006 European Ryder Cup Captain, who has 52 wins worldwide. “I’ll be feeling that going to Sunningdale, and although it is a long time since I won there, the times I’ve played around there, I always enjoy it, so hopefully I’ve got a good chance.”

The 57 year old is part a quartet of victorious European Ryder Cup captains – along with Bernhard Langer, Colin Montgomerie and Sam Torrance – who are set to compete at Sunningdale, as Langer attempts to retain the title he claimed by 13 strokes from Montgomerie at Royal Porthcawl last year.

Woosnam finished in tied 19th place the last time the Senior Open Championship was played at Sunningdale six years ago, and he held off an illustrious chasing pack for that European Open victory at the Berkshire venue 27 years ago, finishing three strokes clear of Sir Nick Faldo, with Mark James, Sandy Lyle and José María Olazábal a further three shots back.

With another quality field expected to play in The Senior Open Championship, from July 23-26, Woosnam is looking forward to a special week.

“In 2009 it was a great tournament and it is a great golf course,” he said. “It’s one I love to play and I think it’s great for The Senior Open to go there.

“The crowds are going to be magnificent. No-one can complain because it’s such a lovely old golf course.

“It’s the sort of golf course, with the heather and everything, that you’ve got to keep it on the fairway, but it’s not a long golf course. You have to use the right clubs off the tee and they are very small greens, so you have to be accurate as well. It is a good test for everybody. In July it depends on the weather, it could be a lot drier and running. We’re not sure how it is going to play but when you get there you work it out.”
