Scotland’s Marc Warren and his fellow ‘older’ generation of Scottish-born golfers remain determined to remind their current young generation of compatriots they still have what it takes to win on Tour. Warren, now aged 41, has just a handful of events remaining in his 20th year as a professional but the the four-time Tour winner showed he still has what it takes to remain competitive in finishing the leading Scot with his share of eighth in last week’s Spanish Open in Madrid.
