Colin Montgomerie’s last chance for major at Open

Shock qualifier Colin Montgomerie knows the Open at Royal Troon could represent his last realistic chance of contending for a major.

While he’s won three Senior majors since 2014, the 53-year old Scot never managed to break his duck during his regular career, finishing second five times and racking 10 Top 10s in 74 major appearances.

But after winning one of three spots on offer at Glasgow Gailes in Final Qualifying on Tuesday, the eight-time Order of Merit winner goes to the course where he grew up knowing he may never have as good a chance to become the oldest major winner since Julius Boros won the 1968 US PGA Championship at 48.
