SHENZHEN, China -- Add the World Cup of Golf to Colin Montgomerie's long resumé.
Montgomerie and Marc Warren gave Scotland its first victory in the World Cup, defeating Americans Boo Weekley and Heath Slocum on Sunday with a par on the third hole of a playoff in southern China.
The victory at the Mission Hills Golf Club made up for Scotland's loss last year in Barbados on the first hole of a playoff with Germany's Bernhard Langer and Marcel Siem.
Montgomerie's tap-in for par on the third extra hole was good enough for the Scots when Weekley missed a 15-foot attempt to save par.
"It's been a long time for Scotland to win the World Cup, since 1953," said Montgomerie, an eight-time European No. 1. "There was pressure to come back after a playoff loss like we did last year, which was disappointing."
