The PGA Tour Champions newest winner has been grinding for three decades.
Australian Scott Hend, who is fourth all-time on the Asian Tour with 10 wins, ran away with the Trophy Hassan II at Royal Golf Dar Es Salam in Morocco.
He defeated Kiwi Steven Alker and American Tommy Gainey by five strokes, and was the only player in the field to card three consecutive rounds in the 60s.
Hend’s wife, Leanne, had not seen him win since the week they got married in 2002. Leanne was on the bag that day at the Victoria Open, when Hend finished 17 under to top Michael Harris, Rich Massey and David Hearn on the Canadian Tour.
A special win for the whole family ❤️

This was just Hend’s 12th start on the PGA Tour Champions.
Alker, who won the Cologuard Classic earlier this year, has finished inside the top 14 in five straight events.
As for Gainey, he went 67-67 to open the tournament and looked in charge at 12 under entering Saturday’s final round. However, he bogeyed four of his last nine holes and shot 75.
