Monty wins Shot of the Month

Colin Montgomerie’s final drive at the US Open has been voted RBS Shot of the Month for June.

The 43-year-old Scot was in contention for his first major as he found a perfect position on the fairway of his 72nd hole at Winged Foot.

However, he subsequently missed the green with his seven-iron approach and carded a double-bogey six when a par would have been enough to win the title, which went to Geoff Ogilvy.

As well as the RBS Shot of the Month trophy Montgomerie receives a £1,000 (€1,500) cheque to donate to charity.

Second was John Bickerton’s exquisite second to the 443-yard 12th hole, which set up a birdie and victory in the French Open, with Peter Hedblom’s hole in one at the 234-yard third during the third round of the US Open voted third-best.
