Monty completes thrilling comeback

Colin Montgomerie, so many times Europe’s Ryder Cup hero, produced a sizzling back nine to hold off American Charles Howell in the second round of the Accenture Match Play Championship today.

Howell took the lead with four successive birdies from the 10th hole, but Montgomerie dug deep to birdie three of the next four holes and score a hard-fought one-up victory at Dove Mountain.
