Woods triumphs over Daly in play-off

COLIN MONTGOMERIE moved closer to an incredible eighth Order of Merit title despite narrowly missing out on a play-off in the American Express Championship.

Montgomerie carded a final round of 70 at Harding Park for an eight-under total of 272, two adrift of John Daly and Tiger Woods.

Woods then claimed his sixth tournament of the year when Daly three-putted the second extra hole from 18 feet, the world number one’s 11th win in 21 World Golf Championship events.
