Worksop golfer vows to bounce back from Gleneagles heartbreak

Mark Foster insists there is "better to come" following his Johnnie Walker Championship heartbreak. Foster had been three up with eight holes to play and one ahead standing on the final tee. However he drove into the trees at the last on his way to a bogey six before losing out in a five-man, five-hole play-off at Gleneagles - with Thomas Bjorn securing the crown. For Foster it was another case of so close, yet so far having led three of his four previous events and not gone on to end his eight-year wait for second Tour title.

Break

And the 36-year-old, who won his maiden crown at the Dunhill Championship in 2003, claimed: "I honestly felt like I made a good swing off 18 the first time around. It's just a game of fractions, you know. "I just needed a break. I've just got to keep going. "I've not had one putt in 36 holes (his eagle on the ninth was a chip-in) and lost in a play-off, so the golf I'm playing is second to none really. "You wait all day, you make a birdie in a play-off and two other people make one. It's the game. "I'm not going home with my tail between my legs. I think there's better to come."
