olin Montgomerie twice sank three consecutive birdiesen route to a six-under 65 on Thursday that put him a stroke clear atop theleaderboard after the opening round of the US Senior Open.
The Scotsman started his round on the back nine at Oak Tree National and birdied Nos. 14, 15 and 16 in hot and humid conditions and then did it again at six, seven and eight.
'That was the key to the round, the three birdies in a row on the front nine, my back nine,' Montgomerie said. 'To birdie six, seven, eight was good. That got me to the position I am now.'
Marco Dawson was second after a 66, and Mark Brooks was third after shooting 68. Bernhard Langer was one of five tied for fourth with a 69.
Dawson, in his first US Senior Open, started on the back nine and shot 2 under, then was steady on the front nine before scoring birdies on seven, eight and nine.
