Welcome to Mauritius and the enchanting greens of the Constance Belle Mare Plage for the grand fi nale of the 2015 European Senior Tour schedule. Everyday, we will help make With so many of the sport’s greatest names gracing the fairways, I am confi dent that the competition will be thrilling for participants and spectators something happen alike. The MCB Tour Championship is, after all, the most prestigious golf event in this part of the world. When we started this adventure with Constance Hotels and the European Senior Tour, our aim was to showcase Mauritius as a premier destination for everyone who is passionate about golf. Our efforts are bearing results. Mauritius is now globally recognised as a golfi ng destination par excellence, earning multiple prestigious awards every year. While the MCB Tour Championship has consistently strengthened its reputation as an exciting rendezvous in the global sports calendar, we will sustain our efforts to ensure that the competition gets even better year on year. We will also ensure that it retains its unique proposition of being a competitive yet friendly tournament. I would like to thank all partners who have made this edition of the MCB Tour Championship possible and wish everyone a successful and memorable competition.

It is my great pleasure to welcome you all to the 2015 MCB Tour Championship. For the fi fth successive season, the European Senior Tour concludes our campaign at Constance Belle Mare Plage, here on the magnifi cent island of Mauritius. This time last year we crowned Colin Montgomerie the winner of the John Jacobs Trophy for topping the European Senior Tour Order of Merit; once again he arrives with an insurmountable lead, and in with every chance of improving on last year’s record earnings of € 624,543. It has been another superb season for Colin, who has retained two of the titles he won in 2014: the US Senior PGA Championship and the Travis Perkins Masters. Knowing Colin, I am sure he will be determined this week to add the MCB Tour Championship to an already impressive CV. Last year, Paul Wesselingh successfully defended his title over the Legend Course after a record-breaking play-off with Barry Lane, whilst also holding off the challenge of David Frost. Both Paul and David will be back in action this year, attempting to become the fi rst player to win this prestigious title for a third time. The Rookie of the Year Award is yet to be determined but it looks to be a straight shootout between Paul Broadhurst, who won the Prostate Cancer UK Scottish Senior Open on his debut, and Lian-wei Zhang, who has performed with great credit in his fi rst season on the European Senior Tour. This tournament and venue have provided a magnifi cent stage to conclude our season for the past four years, and our thanks once again go to Mauritius Commercial Bank for their continued support of the event. We hope all their Pro-Am guests enjoy playing alongside some of the game’s greatest names. Similarly, we are grateful to Jean-Jacques Vallet and everyone at Constance Belle Mare Plage for their superb hospitality, which helps provide such a memorable fi nale to the season. To everyone involved, including all the volunteers and spectators, we thank you for supporting the Senior Tour in 2015, and hope you enjoy the MCB Tour Championship

Andy Stubbs Managing Director, European Senior Tour

6 7 Welcome from CONSTANCE HOTELS & RESORTS

From across the world, guests and golfers arrive at Constance Belle Mare Plage for the 5th MCB Tour Championship, the fi nal leg of the 2015 European Senior Tour season. As was the case last year, Colin Montgomerie, one of Europe’s fi nest-ever golfers, has already secured the John Jacobs Trophy, awarded to the leading player on the Tour. Yet, this will not distract from the competitiveness of the tournament, which arguably has the strongest fi eld yet assembled. Alongside Montgomerie are his fellow Ryder Cup stars Sam Torrance, as well as David Frost and Paul Wesselingh both seeking an unprecedented third victory in the event. Moreover, last year’s runner-up, Barry Lane, returns hoping to go one better while fi rst-time visitor Paul Broadhurst will be chasing the Rookie of the Year title. Twelve months ago, Wesselingh and Lane fought out a dramatic fi nale. What excitement does this year hold for us? 2014 marked the 20th anniversary of Constance Hotels and Resorts hosting the fi rst ever PGA approved event in Mauritius and we are proud of our contribution in promoting the golf industry on the island. As such, it feels appropriate that our Legend and Links courses witness the conclusion of not just the Senior Tour season, but of a truly breakthrough year for Mauritian golf. Our golfi ng legacy and the quality of our courses are the main reasons why our unique week of golf continues to attract amateurs from across the world. Nowhere else can they experience the excitement of competitive golf amongst themselves, in addition to the thrill of playing alongside the stars of the European Senior Tour. As always, we extend a special thank you to our main partner, the Mauritius resort experience in Mauritius Commercial Bank. Their support enables this golfi ng spectacle to take place, as does the valued contributions from every other supporting sponsor. Finally, to our guests, we say a special welcome. This tournament is a highlight for us and, we hope, for you too; this week is all about you. THE TOTAL RESORT EXPERIENCE Have a wonderful stay and enjoy the tournament.

10 11 The Art of Living at Constance Belle Mare Plage There are hotels, and then there is Constance Belle Mare Plage. The resort is part of the “Unique” collection of luxury resorts belonging to the Constance Hotels and Resorts group in the Indian Ocean - and unique it truly is.

Situated on the beautiful, calm East coast of Mauritius directly on a pristine beach, Constance Belle Mare Plage is among my favorite places to spend my vacations. Having experienced the world as a travel writer for decades, staying at the most prestigious hotels, I keep coming back to this part of Heaven on Earth in order to recharge my worn batteries. Constance Belle Mare Plage is more than just a luxury resort. To me and my family it has become a home-away-from-home, underlined by the fact that each time we arrive, the staff of the conciergerie welcomes us with a big smile and the words: “Welcome home!” One thing is certain: the service at Constance Belle Mare Plage is far better than at home. Everywhere we are met by big, genuine smiles and offers to assist. This goes from early morning at breakfast at La Citronelle restaurant where we do not even need to order. Our wonderful waitress, Sweetie knows exactly what we want. The Returning to the hotel, we pick-up our friends’ grandchildren at the Constance Kids same goes for the charming guy at the buffet, who starts to prepare my two fried Club, in spite of their reluctance to leave.

Cycling, tennis, ﬁ tness centre, what is claimed on our passports, we are left with one of the hardest decisions of waterskiing, sailing and golf - these options and more are there without charge. the day: where shall we dine? Constance Belle Mare Plage has a choice of seven I choose the golf - even though the two Constance championship golf courses, restaurants, catering to different needs. From The Blue Penny Café with its The Legend (home of the MCB Tour Championship) and the Links have a tendency to gastronomic “Haute Cuisine”, to the intimate, beachside La Spiaggia, the vast beat me instead of the other way around. The two courses complement each other La Citronnelle with its popular buffet and the relaxed Deer Hunter restaurant, located perfectly as they are very different in layout and degree of difﬁ culty. in the clubhouse of the Legend. It is a tough decision to make - but usually we enjoy each of them several times during our stay. The food at all the restaurants is simply delicious, as Constance Hotels and Resorts group is continuously working hard on maintaining the level of their cuisine. The wine menu at Constance Belle Mare Plage is simply one of the most impressive I have seen anywhere. A tough day comes to an end at Constance Belle Mare Plage - truly a Unique experience in many more ways than one! Peter Bojesen - Denmark 12 13 FACTS AND FORMATS CONDITIONS OF PLAY

By Barry Havenga, Golf Digest South Africa OFF! You have seen it on television countless times, a tour- ing professional with a one-shot lead on the fi nal green simply two-putting from 20 feet, before raising his arms in triumph and acknowledging the crowd. Except on this occasion for defending champion Paul Wesselingh he had to wait 90 minutes before the adulation of back-to-back wins in the season-ending Mauritius Commercial Bank Tour Championship. Nerves overcame the Englishman on the fi nal hole of the Legend Course at Constance Belle Mare Plage. Playing with overnight leader David Frost in the fi nal group, he three-putted the par 5 from 20 feet to fall into a tie with compatriot Barry Lane. And the two of them had to play the hole a further six excruciating times. The Wesselingh family, including their three sons, descended upon Constance Belle Mare Plage to be distracted by the resort’s numerous leisure and beach activities. But Paul meant business in the fi nal round, making four birdies between the seventh and 12th to snatch a two-shot lead over Frost. As much as Wesselingh had the luxury of winning with a par at 18 in regulation play, Lane could conceivably have won the title himself, having missed a short birdie putt at 17 and an eagle chance at the last. The 54-year-old Lane had battled illness and a crook back earlier in the week, but closed with a bogey-free 67 to post the clubhouse lead. At the sixth time of asking it was Lane’s turn to capitulate on the 18th green. After a weak chip, Lane charged his birdie putt and missed the return from four feet, allowing Wesselingh to tap in for par with darkness encroaching. The epic battle equalled the record for the longest playoff in Euro Senior Tour history, matching Gordon J Brand’s defeat of namesake Gordon Brand Jr in the 2008 De Vere Senior PGA Championship. “I feel like I have been through the wringer,” said a relieved Wesselingh afterwards. “I was disappointed when I came off after regulation play. I felt I had done enough, but the nerves just got to me. Frosty said some nice words to me, which helped me focus for the playoff.”

Whilst trying to replicate his astonishing debut season on the European Senior Tour was always going to be a tough task for Colin Montgomerie, the decorated Scotsman was still peerless in 2015. Montgomerie’s season started in familiar fashion as he successfully defended the US Senior PGA Championship to claim his third Major title in the space of just 12 months. The eight-time winner of The European Tour’s Money List claimed the fi rst event of the 2015 Senior Tour season with a four-stroke victory over the Pete Dye Course in French Lick, fi ring a closing 69 for an eight under par aggregate total. More Major success seemed set to follow, as Montgomerie moved fi rmly into contention to capture both the US Senior Open and Senior Open Championships, before eventually settling for second and third place fi nishes respectively. But the man affectionately known as Monty did not have to wait long for his next Montgomerie said: “It was always going to be diffi cult to replicate my 2014 triumph, as he racked up a hat-trick of wins at the Travis Perkins Senior Masters to season, but to defend my US Senior PGA title, win the Travis Perkins Senior Masters create yet more history in a career littered with milestones. for the third time and come close in both the US Senior Open and Senior Open That victory effectively put Montgomerie beyond the reach of his closest pursuers Championships, it has to go down as another successful campaign.” on the Senior Tour Order of Merit, meaning he will receive the John Jacobs Trophy “Knowing that I have won the John Jacobs Trophy in my fi rst two full seasons on the for the second successive season in Mauritius this week. Senior Tour is a real honour, and hopefully I can round off another great year with a good performance in Mauritius.” This week will mark Monty’s third visit to the paradise island of Mauritius, and the 52 year old would dearly love to add the MCB Tour Championship to his haul of seven Senior Tour titles in just 15 appearances in the over-50s ranks. He said: “I have fi nished sixth here for the past two years, so an improvement on that would be nice. But irrespective of where I fi nish, I am sure I will enjoy the tournament because it is a beautiful place and a wonderful week.” “After Mauritius, I will be packing away the clubs for a little while then getting ready for next season. I am still as ambitious to achieve more success, and win more Majors – it is what keeps us going in this game, after all.” Paul Symes - EST

By Sébastien Pilot, Golf Director, The Legend Golf Course

The Legend Golf Course is a parkland type of course with beautiful mature trees and lush vegetation between the different fairways. It also has water hazards on almost every hole, making this golf course a very technical but fair challenge for the players. Power is not the priority on the Legend. You need to be accurate with your drives if you want to beat the course. 6018 METRES The 12th & 13th holes are the “Amen Corner” of this course. Many players have lost tournaments on these holes.

46 47 FIRST Paul Broadhurst TIMER Having won on his fi rst European Senior Tour start in the Prostate Cancer UK Senior Scottish Open, Paul Broadhurst will aim to put the seal on a dream debut season by clinching the Rookie of the Year Award with a strong performance in this week’s MCB Tour Championship. In August, the Former Ryder Cup player defeated Gordon Manson on the second hole of a play-off at Archerfi eld Links to join an exclusive club of players who have won on their Senior Tour debuts. The Englishman, who had celebrated his 50th birthday two weeks before the tournament, became only the tenth player to win fi rst time out on the European Senior Tour and he had to do it the hard way, holing a curling www.champagnedelamotte.com downhill 25-foot putt to get into a play-off with Gordon Manson. PLEASE DRIN K CHAMPAGNE D ELAMOTTE RESPONSIBLY Broadhurst then needed two more birdies to beat a dogged opponent who earlier in the year had won his own maiden Senior Tour title in the Swiss Seniors Open at Bad Ragaz. Refl ecting on that victory, Broadhurst said: “To be honest, it came as a bit of a surprise. I was always hopeful of getting my Senior Tour career off to a fast start, but to win my fi rst tournament was a dream come true. It was also a surprise because I had such a dreadful record in play-offs. I’d won two from 12 in my career and none from four on The European Tour, so I was probably due one! It meant an awful lot to me. It’d been nine years since I won a tournament as big as that, so I got a bit emotional afterwards.” “The family were pleased too. My bank balance had taken a bit of a battering over the last three or four years, but that nice cheque has kept me going for a while!” By his own admission, Broadhurst had been “wishing my life away” from his mid-forties until his 50th birthday on August 14 this year. But having reached the milestone and made an immediate impact on the Senior Tour, the six-time European Tour winner is relishing his role as one of the youngest swingers in town, and is enjoying meeting up with – and competing against – some familiar faces again. “It’s been great to meet up with some of the old gang again, like Sam Torrance and Gordon Brand Jnr,” he said. “Then after my win in Scotland I was paired with Roger Chapman and Monty in the fi rst round at Woburn, and it was a privilege to play alongside two Senior Major champions. Hopefully I can now fi nish the season strongly, then start getting myself ready for next year.”

www.constancehotels.com 68 69 CLOSING with INSPIRED BY PASSION THOUGHTS Peter Fowler

With a fairly limited schedule this year it was important to get off to a fast start, and fortunately I managed to do that with a runner-up fi nish and then back-to-back wins in Jersey and England. I played really well – probably the most consistent run I have had for a fair few years – but it was unrealistic to expect it to last for the whole year. Even though I have not managed to get another win since the PGA Seniors Championship, it has still been a great season. I managed to pass €1million in earnings on the Senior Tour, and whilst money is not the only reason we play the game, it is nice to keep the bank manager off my back for a while! So I have been pleased with how it has gone this year – it is just a shame that Monty has played golf from another planet again! We all had a mountain to climb from the moment he won the US Senior PGA Championship – because the prize fund is so big, I think I would have had to win the next four events to come close to catching him up! But I am hoping to fi nish best of the rest, and hopefully I can fi nish off another solid season with a good performance in Mauritius this week. It is such a fabulous end to the season – I enjoy playing in the heat and I enjoy the challenge of the course here at Constance Belle Mare Plage, because you have to play some really good golf to score well. I have to give great credit to Marc Farry, who plays the role of tournament host to perfection. It is been a busy period leading up to the Tour Championship, I have played a lot of golf in my homeland so I will be ready for a rest once this week’s over. And I guess if it is rest and relaxation you are looking for, Mauritius is not a bad place to start! My daughter also gave birth to my fi rst grandchild recently, so it has been a busy few months but I am looking forward to putting down the clubs and MAURITIUS • SEYCHELLES • MALDIVES • MADAGASCAR spending some time with them after this week.
