PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. — Colin Montgomerie settled for a one-stroke lead in the Champions Tour's First Tee Open after bogeying the final hole Saturday at Pebble Beach.
The 52-year-old Scot finished with a 5-under 67, missing a 6-foot par putt on the par-5 18th to fall to 8-under 135. He opened with a 68 on Friday at par-71 Poppy Hills.
Second behind Jeff Maggert in the Charles Schwab Cup points race, Montgomerie is coming off a victory two weeks ago in England in a European Senior Tour event. All three of his Champions Tour victories have come in majors, the last a successful title defense in the Senior PGA Championship in May.
