Monty back in the swing

Colin Montgomerie’s hopes of hitting back from his US Open agony with a first win of the year are very much alive – in spite of another closing six in the Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles.

After the double-bogey that cost him a first major title on Sunday, Montgomerie this time ran up a bogey on a 533-yard hole where there were a number of eagles during the opening round.
