Alker Leads Senior British Open at Sunningdale, England
Steven Alker leads the 2025 Senior British Open at Sunningdale Golf Club in Berkshire, England, after an impressive opening round of 7-under-par 63, which included six birdies and an eagle. The New Zealander, who has nine PGA Tour Champions titles and two Charles Schwab Cups but only one senior major win at the 2022 Senior PGA Championship, holds a one-shot lead over Australia’s Mark Hensby. Alker credited his efficient driving, solid iron play, and key putts, especially on the back nine, for his strong performance, highlighting his course management and patience. Defending champion K.J. Choi and Joe Durant are three shots behind, tied for third place. The field also includes notable contenders such as Padraig Harrington and Ernie Els, with Harrington currently leading after the third round at 13-under. Alker’s return to Sunningdale holds special significance as he last played competitively there in the late 1980s, and he expressed enthusiasm about the course and the energy of the event.
