The run is over for Colin Montgomerie, the two-time defending champion of the Sr. PGA Championship, saw his winning streak of Sr. PGA’s end right where it started in 2014.

Back in 2014 Mongomerie held off Bernhardt Langer his partner in the fourth round. This time Monty’s partner was Rocco Mediate, who held off the two-time champion.

The 2014 Sr. PGA Championship was Monty’s first major championship on either tour. Two Sr. PGA’s and one U.S. Sr. Open later, Montgomerie is looking for a his fourth major. It’s likely he will get it soon.

Montgomerie won his second Sr. PGA at the French Lick Resort in 2015.

Mongomerie called the changing moment in Sunday’s final round, as the par 5, 15th hole when he had a chance for eagle and Mediate could not do better than birdie, after he missed his putt and mediate made his that was pretty much it.

But Mediate’s hole out for birdie from the bunker on 17, that opened the lead to three was the final shot that Mediate needed for victory.
