Scotland wins World Cup of Golf

SCHENZHEN, China, Nov. 25 (UPI) -- Scotland beat the United States in a three-hole playoff Sunday, capturing the World Cup of Golf in Shenzhen, China.

The Scottish team of Colin Montgomerie and Marc Warren shot 6-under 66 to get into the clubhouse at 25-under-par 263.

The U.S. duo of Boo Weekley and Heath Slocum, who led each of the first four days, shot 5-under 67 to join Scotland in the playoff.

On the third playoff hole, Slocum drove into the first cut on the right and Weekley hit a poor approach short of the putting surface.

Warren hit his team's second shot 35 feet long and right, but on the green.

At the finish, Warren tapped in for par and the victory.

Weekley failed to make a needed birdie to extend the playoff.

"This was a tremendous week," Montgomerie said. "We came back terrifically today with a 66. That's what won it for us."

The French duo of Raphael Jacquelin and Gregory Havret (67) finished third at 24-under 264.
