Scotland Win World Cup

After the disappointing showing from the home nations in the kickball it was good to see Scotland on top of the golfing world.

Scots pair Colin Montgomerie and Marc Warren defeated Heath Slocum and Boo Weekley of Team America in a thriller after extra holes.

On the first playoff hole, Slocum missed a 7-foot birdie attempt that would have won it. Seconds before, Warren holed a 12-footer to save par. A miss would have handed the event to the Americans. On the second extra hole, both teams narrowly missed birdie attempts — Weekley from 20 feet and Warren from 12.

We told you it was exciting.

Monty and Marc Warren gave Scotland its first victory in the World Cup, with a par on the third hole of a playoff. This goes some way to make up for the disappointment of losing out in 2006 on the first hole of a playoff with Germany's Bernhard Langer and Marcel Siem.

"It was fantastic, after missing out last year to come here and win is superb," said the Kit Kat botherer.

Fantastic and superb indeed.
