SCOTS BEAT AMERICANS

IN WORLD CUP PLAY-OFF

Scotland's Colin Montgomerie and Marc Warren have won the Omega Mission Hills World Cup in a thrilling climax to the four-day, 28-nation tournament in China.
Last year, Monty and Warren lost to Germany in a play-off for the title.
This year, they caught the long-time leaders, America's Boo Weekley and Heath Slocum, over the final round to tie on 25-under-par 263.
In the play-off, the first two extra holes were halved in par 4s.
Then the Scots won the third hole and the prestigious title with another par.
Well done, boys!
At last a Scotland team that are champions of the world.
