Monty moved up to 30th on the World Golf Rankings after his win at the K Club’s European Open, but he dropped back to 33rd after missing the cut at the Scottish Open.

Can ‘Europe’s most successful golfer who has never won a Major’ change that at Carnoustie?

Well it would be nice wouldn’t it. Third in France before the K Club but suffered on the Friday at Loch Lomond.

Multiple European Order of Merit titles and amazing Ryder Cup record shows Montgomerie has the talent, but that Major hoodoo has haunted him for years. You can’t forget the disaster at Winged Foot in the 2006 US Open when a double bogey at the last gifted the title to Geoff Ogilvy.

It’s too late for Monty, isn’t it?
