Colin Montgomerie wins second Senior PGA Championship

Colin Montgomerie won the Senior PGA Tour Championship by four strokes

Scottish golfer Colin Montgomerie successfully defended his Senior PGA Tour Championship title on Sunday.

Montgomerie, 51, shot a final-round 69 to finish four clear of Mexican Esteban Toledo in Indiana, USA.

The Scot registered a two-under-par 70 on Saturday on the Pete Dye Course at French Lick resort, to take a three-shot lead into the final round.

It is his third senior major championship triumph after successes in the 2014 Senior PGA and US Open.

Montgomerie said: "It was a difficult position to be in at the start of the day, being three ahead. I could never relax at all.

"And very, very tiring mentally. Every shot had to be executed or you could be in trouble. That's a test and a half.'"

Former Masters and Open champion Sandy Lyle finished the tournament on two over, with Welshman Ian Woosnam 10 over and England's Sir Nick Faldo a further four shots back.
