Gronberg weighs in with 65 for cheesy Italian Open win

SWEDEN’S Mathias Gronberg held off a determined late charge from a re-invigorated Colin Montgomerie to win his fourth tour title in the Italian Open.

Gronberg carded a final-round 65 at Gardagolf for a 17-under-par total of 271 - two shots ahead of Montgomerie, Spain's Jose Manuel Lara and Argentina's Ricardo Gonzalez.

Montgomerie and Lara also shot closing rounds of 65, the latter missing out on second place on his own after a bogey on the last while overnight leader Gonzalez recorded a final-round 70.
