Just 23 days after he crashed out of the US Open with a second round 82 - his second worst score ever in a major - Montgomerie followed up his third place in last week's French Open with victory in the Smurfit Kappa European Open at the K Club near Dublin.

Across the River Liffey from where he celebrated Ryder Cup triumph last September Montgomerie fired a closing 65 to win by one from Swede Niclas Fasth. But his tee shots on the final two holes - both par threes - were both perilously close to going in the water.

He saved par both times and then had to wait during a second storm delay of 82 minutes before Fasth, having missed an eight-foot birdie putt to tie on the 17th, failed from 14 feet at the last.

The £400,000 first prize was Montgomerie's once Peter Hanson had then failed to hole-in-one at the last and overnight leader Soren Hansen failed to birdie the 17th.
