Colin Montgomerie extended his record number of European Tour holes-in-one to nine in Munich but it was England?s Graeme Storm moving through the field rather than the Ryder Cup Captain.

Montgomerie, 46 last Tuesday, sank a 156-yard eight iron on the eighth hole at Golfclub M?nchen Eichenried.

But with five holes to play in his third round of the BMW International Open he was still outside the top 50 and eight strokes adrift of South African Retief Goosen.

The last time the eight-time Order of Merit winner had a top-ten finish was June 29 last year when he was runner-up to Spanish qualifier Pablo Larraz?bal in the Open de France ALSTOM.
