WALTON ON THE HILL, England (AP) — Three-time major winner Nick Price is ready to end his self-imposed exile from the British Open by playing in next year’s tournament at Lytham.

The Zimbabwean golfer, who won the British Open at Turnberry in 1994, hasn’t played in the event since 2005, choosing instead to dedicate his summer to his three children.

Price is making his debut at the Senior British Open this week. The 54-year-old golfer said Wednesday he’s hoping to compete at Lytham because he’s missed coming to the British Open.

Lytham was the scene of Price’s famous head-to-head with Seve Ballesteros in the final round of the 1988 British Open. The late Spanish great rallied from a two-stroke deficit to win by two shots.
