Welsh golfing legend Ian Woosnam has set his sights on securing a home victory at the Wales Senior Open.

The competition is taking place at Celtic Manor Resort in Newport.

The Welshman has five Senior Tour and 29 European Tour titles under his belt.

He is being joined by a number of fellow former Ryder Cup players and the winners of more than 750 tournaments worldwide.

Ian Woosnam's come close to winning the tournament on several occasions, most notably in 2008, when he was the joint leader heading into the final round but ultimately lost out on the title by two shots from Peter Mitchell.
