European Ryder Cup captain Colin Montgomerie is convinced he can still win tournaments as he returns to home soil at the Scottish Open at Loch Lomond.

The 46-year-old has sunk to 200 in the world after a terrible start to 2009 but showed glimpses of a return to form at the French Open last week.

The seven-time European Order of Merit winner finished tied for 13th in France, a result which has given him a huge confidence boost.

"There are people on the tour who are older than me who have won and I believe there are still a few wins in there somewhere for me," said Montgomerie.

"I've just got to keep going and believe in myself, if I do that then I am halfway there.

"If I don't believe in myself it will never happen again for me but last week in France gave me a boost."
