KENNY PERRY WINS HIS THIRD OVER-50S MAJOR IN A ROW

MONTY FINISHES TIED 16TH IN USA

SENIORS TOUR MAJOR EVENT

Hopes that Colin Montgomerie would mount a last-day title challenge in the first major of the US Champions Tour season - the Regions Traditions at Shoal Creek, Alabama - never materialised.
The big Scot slid out of contention with a closing round of 73 after earlier efforts of 72, 72 and 69.
He finished T16 on 286.
The winner - of his third senior major in a row - was American Kenny Perry with scores of 72, 68, 69 and 72 for 281.
Former Open champion Mark Calcavecchia finished second, a shot behind the winner, with scores of 69, 69, 74 and 70 for 282.
Sandy Lyle saved his best round to the last day - a 69 for T34 on 293. His earlier scores had not been so hot: 75, 71 and 78.
