Swindon golf star David Howell might like to take a tip from former coach Peter Mitchell, after the Wrag Barn-attached pro won the Seniors' Casa Serena Czech Open at the weekend.

 

Mitchell, who opened a golf academy at the Highworth club in July, pipped well-known names such as Ian Woosnam and Bernhard Langer to what is one of the biggest prizes on the 2009 Tour.

 

"I couldn't be more pleased with the way I played," Peter said, who now stands in 5th place in the Seniors Order of Merit.

 

"I struck the ball really well and my putting all week was the secret. I holed all the crucial ones I needed."
