FORMER Basildon and Thorpe Hall professional Bill Longmuir, who's enjoyed a new lease of life of golfing life since joining the European Seniors Tour two years ago, is now set to chase megabucks in the United States.

For Anglo-Scot Longmuir, based in Wickford, put together a solid six rounds of golf in America to earn himself the right to play on next season's United States Champions Tour.

This is the American equivalent of the European Seniors Tour where father of four Longmuir has earned 601,299 euros (£410,000) for 24th place in the career rankings since qualifying on his 50th birthday in June 2003.
