Williams was born in England but plays under the South African flag after moving to Johannesburg shortly before turning professional in 1978.
Chris won his first over-50s title at the 2011 Aberdeen Brunei Senior Masters and he returned to the winner’s circle in 2017 with victory at the inaugural Sharjah Senior Golf Masters presented by Shurooq.
