Ryder Cup hero and eight-time European Tour order of merit winner Colin Montgomerie won the U.S. Senior PGA Championship in Michigan on Sunday.

Montgomerie, 50, finished 13 under par to beat eight-time major winner Tom Watson by four shots and twice Masters champion Bernhard Langer by six, reports the BBC.

The Scot, who was runner-up five times in majors on the regular tour, also secured his first win on U.S. soil.

He described his win as a very special moment in his golfing career.

Montgomerie, who captained Europe to Ryder Cup victory in 2010, won 31 times on the European Tour.

He became eligible for the Seniors Tour when he turned 50 in June 2013.
