Colin Montgomerie ready to go again in seniors open

Colin Montgomerie will get little respite after an arduous week at the US Open when he defends the senior equivalent in Sacramento this week.

Montgomerie was the only Champions Tour member to make the cut at Chambers Bay, rolling back the years with an opening 69 before going on to finish in a tie for 64th.

The 51-year-old was taken aback by the fact the controversial course played to 7,695 yards in the second round, making it the longest in US Open history, with the front nine on Friday measuring 4,020 yards, another record.
