SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Jeff Maggert won the U.S. Senior Open on Sunday for his second major victory on the Champions Tour this year.

Maggert shot a 5-under 65 at sun-drenched Del Paso Country Club, edging defending champion Colin Montgomerie by two strokes. Maggert made six birdies and one bogey to finish at 10-under 270.
