(Reuters) - Scotland's Colin Montgomerie, making the most of a "relaxed" grouping, birdied four of his last seven holes to seize an early one-shot lead in the opening round of the U.S. Senior Open in Edmond, Oklahoma on Thursday

Seeking his second major victory on the over-50s Champions Tour, Montgomerie racked up eight birdies and two bogeys to card a six-under-par 65 in rain-softened, relatively calm conditions at Oak Tree National.
