Monty takes early lead
STRAFFAN (Ireland), July 3: Colin Montgomerie showed his determination to win as a newly turned 40-year-old, when his four-under-par 68 took him to within a stroke of the European Open first round lead on Thursday.
Montgomerie, who turned 40 10 days ago, bogeyed his last hole to deny himself a place alongside early leader Fredrik Andersson of Sweden, but the Scot feels he has his first win of the season within his sights.
