    Former professional golfer Greg Turner has teed off about the scope of Steven Alker's success on the PGA Champions Tour

    Former professional golfer Greg Turner has teed off about the scope of Steven Alker's success on the PGA Champions Tour


    The 53-year-old's claimed his second Charles Schwab Cup for the overall title, having won in 2022 and finished runner-up last year.

    Alker never won on the PGA Tour, but has racked up eight tournament wins since joining the senior equivalent for those aged 50-plus.

    Turner says a tweak in power requirements has brought Alker into range.
