As expected Carl Mason wrapped up the PGA Seniors Championship with another imperious display at Stoke by Nayland.
The 54-year-old, who led all week, romped to a fourth successive 67 to claim the title by six shots from Costantino Rocca (68) and France's Philippe Dugeny who broke the Stoke by Nayland course record with a nine under par 63.
The Frenchman's fireworks, which saw him bag nine birdies including six in the outward nine, captured the eye but Mason was no slouch either holing birdies on one and two.
Mason was in cruise control and a bogey on nine was a mere blip as he marched relentlessly to a 268 (20 under par ) total and the first prize of £33,000.
It was his 18th European Seniors Tour victory and his second PGA title following his success at Carden Park three years ago and he was delighted with his wire-to-wire performance.
"It's pretty special to win a second PGA Seniors Championship title and I'm pleased with the way I played because it's difficult to lead from the front and by so many," he said.
"I'm enjoying my golf so much and I can't believe the change in me as a person on the course. I just wish I had felt like this 20 years ago."
Mason, who was again in deadly form on the greens as he chalked up further birdies on five, seven, 16 and 17, paid tribute to the Gainsborough Course and the superb greens which are rated among the best on the Seniors circuit.
"The greens have been absolutely excellent, they are really quick, deceptively quick, I don't think the galleries realised how quick," he said.
Mason's win, the fourth of the season and second in succession after last week's European Seniors Masters, has tightened his grip on the Order of Merit where he is nearly £70,000 ahead of Eduardo Romero.
"Hopefully this will have sealed it and the back stands up to the rest of the season because I think I deserve the Order of Merit now," said the Seniors Tour's record money winner.
Canada's Bruce Heuchan finished fourth after a two under par 70 left him 12 under for the tournament with Nick Job's 66 put him in a share of fifth on 11 under with South Africa's John Bland.
Also enjoying the week was Yorkshire's Richard Masters who has qualified for the Scottish Seniors Open as the leading club professional.
The Baildon Golf Club pro, who was the first round clubhouse leader in the 1986 Open Championship, produced a level par round of 72 and his display has given him the confidence to try his luck at seniors tour school in November.
"I was trying not to think about the Scottish Seniors place but I'm thrilled to get in," he said.
"I played the best I've done all week and I feel more confident about playing in such quality fields.
"It's back to work tomorrow but I'll definitely have to put in some extra practice ahead of the Scottish Seniors."
Camberley Heath's Glenn Ralph was the pick of the PGA pros with a final round 69 moving him to four under for the tournament while Brough Golf Club's Gordon Townhill also enjoyed a good last day with a final round 70.
Richard Green, revelling in making the cut after missing out by a stroke last year, ended with a solid level par 72.
"It was a highlight just being among this calibre of golfer and I did OK it was just overall I didn't play the par fives too well," said the Bramhall pro.
"I think I was one over for the 16 par fives over the week which reflects my score."
