CALGARY, Alberta — Colin Montgomerie birdied three of the final four holes for an 8-under 62 and the first-round lead Friday in the Champions Tour's Shaw Charity Classic.
Playing alongside defending champion Fred Couples and Miguel Angel Jimenez, Montgomerie had nine birdies and a bogey at Canyon Meadows.
"I knew that if I kept up with them or kept around them I was doing OK, Montgomerie said about his playing partners. "All in all, I got the most out of the round. I'm not one of these guys who's going to say it should have been 59.
