Montgomerie takes charge

Colin Montgomerie put controversy behind him to take the lead in the Daily Telegraph Dunlop Masters at the Forest of Arden today.

The 41-year-old, who has come under fire from fellow players unhappy about his replacing of a ball during the Indonesian Open in March, went to the turn in a three under par 33 to lead Paul Broadhurst, Pierre Fulke and Jose-Filipe Lima by one.
