Colin Montgomerie returned to the winner's circle, six years and 55 days after his last professional victory, to get a six-shot victory at the Travis Perkins plc Senior Masters.

According to The Scotsman, Montgomerie's brilliance relegated Spain's Miguel Angel Martin to a distant runner-up alongside England's Paul Wesselingh, who surged up the leaderboard with a best-of-the-week 66, on four under par.

Englishman Carl Mason, who was bidding for a third Senior Masters title this week, signed for a two-over-par 74 to finish in a tie for fourth alongside Scotland's Ross Drummond, the report said.

Montgomerie said that it was like a new lease of life after turning 50 in golf, adding that he could not think of any other sports where you take a new step in your career at such an age.
