American Marco Dawson fired a final round 64 to win the Senior Open at Sunningdale on Sunday and deny Scotland's Colin Montgomerie a maiden victory in the tournament.
It was only the third career win for the 51-year-old, German-born Dawson who finished on 16-under, one shot ahead of German star, and last year's winner, Bernhard Langer.
Montgomerie had held the lead on the final day only to slip three strokes adrift at the finish with a 67.
"Bernhard made a phenomenal par on the 16th and Colin made a phenomenal par at the 17th, and I thought 'Wow, these guys aren't going away, it's going to be a little harder than I thought'. Dawson told Sky Sports.
"It was great to play with them to see how they play and how they react, and I thought, 'They're not doing anything different than I am.
"They're hitting the same shots, making the same swings, making the same mistakes and making the same putts', so I just made a few more putts."
