Woburn, England (SportsNetwork.com) – Colin Montgomerie finished off his third round in the 60s with a 67 on Sunday and he coasted to a comfortable 10-shot victory to win his second straight Travis Perkins Masters.<\/p>\n
Montgomerie, who set the record for winning margin at this event last year after coming out on top by six shots, eclipsed his own record after finishing at 12-under 204.<\/p>\n
Last year’s win at this event was Montgomerie’s first on the European Senior Tour. He has since won two more times, making this victory his fourth on tour.<\/p>\n
Montgomerie started to spread the gap early with a birdie on one, but he gave that shot back with a bogey on three. Two more birdies on the front nine at six and eight had Montgomerie at 2-under as he made the turn.<\/p>\n
The 51-year-old Scotsman did not slow down on the back nine as he made three more gains on 11, 13 and 18 to go along with six pars to win comfortably.<\/p>\n
Gordon Mason (67), Tim Thelen (71) and Andre Bossert (71) were the next closest to Montgomerie at 2-under 214, while Peter Fowler (72) and Mike Cunning (74) were the only other players to finish under par. Fowler and Cunning ended at 1-under.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
