The final day’s play in the Legends Tour’s was abandoned because of heavy rains, which meant Ernie Els finished in a share of third at JCB Championship at the JCB Golf and Country Club in Uttoxeter, England.

Peter Baker of England was the 36-hole leader and became champion without hitting another shot after the final round was unfortunately cancelled, with heavy rain from Storm Antoni rendering the course unplayable despite the best efforts of the greens staff.

Baker was on six-under-par, and one shot ahead of Vijay Singh of Fiji, while Els shared third with Steven Alker of New Zealand.

Keith Horne was on one-under in a share of eighth, and James Kingston on level-par in a share of 16th.
