From today's "The Scotsman"
Colin Montgomerie is heading into the Charles Schwab Cup play-offs in buoyant mood after claiming his second victory in five weeks on the Champions Tour.
The 54-year-old signed off with a stunning, eight-under-par 64 at Prestonwood Country Club in North Carolina to win the SAS Championship on the over-50s' circuit.
Montgomerie, who claimed the Japan Airlines Championshp last month, had started the final round tied fror t5he lead with Welsman Phillip Price and American Jerry Kelly.
But, after picking up three birdies on the front nine, the Scot then pulled away with five birdies coming home to finish with a 16-under-par total of 200.
The eight-time European Tour No 1 finished three shots clear of Fiji's Vijay Singh (66) and American Doug Garwood (66) in joint second place.
The win - his sixth on the Champions Tour - earned Monty $315,000 and lifted him two spots to seventh in the Charles Schwab Cup standings.
