Montgomerie wins as Ferrie sinks

Colin Montgomerie, five behind with a round to go, pulled off his first win for 19 months at St Andrews today – in a manner he never could have envisaged.

Montgomerie became the third Scottish winner of the Dunhill links championship in its five-year existence with a one-under-par 71, thanks to clear overnight leader Kenneth Ferrie crashing to a 77 in the wind and cold.
