Shotrock (U9295849) posted Jun 3, 2008 Not only did Monty not win a major, he never won a PGA tournament here in the US. He's a tremendous Ryder Cup player, but when he's flying solo, it's all just too much for him. Who can forget his mythic crash and burn at the US Open at Winged Foot? This is the same guy that just a couple months ago was bitching about not getting into The Masters. Now he's out of the top 100! Sheesh.

Rednyella (U10055185) posted Jun 4, 2008 The man is done! I am Scottish but live in the USA and think that Monty is a whiner also. The reason he has never won a major or won on the PGA tour is because he makes excuses and is in complete denial. HE thinks people don't appreciate him or give him a chance but fact is he is a talented player who has never pushed himself. After winning the order of merit a couple of times he should have moved to the US PGA tour and stayed there. Winged Foot made me sick and sums up his career. A nearly man and I am fed up of supporting him and his excuses.

Silver Surfer (U12079510) posted Jun 4, 2008 Colin Montgomerie - the most prolific British winner in European Tour history with 31 titles and a record eight money titles (including seven straight, 1993-99). But how great can you really be if you're 'nought-for-your-career' on the PGA Tour?

TykeinSingapore (U10782910) posted Jun 5, 2008 Monty has a bad attitude and thinks he is better than he is. Never to win a major, and never likely to, as he has not got the nerves under intense pressure. Change his attitude, get fit and maybe his talent will come to the fore again. However we all know that is as likely as Darren Clarke winning the British Open!

hawkeye58 (U11451681) posted Jun 13, 2008 Before the Master's Monty complained about not being invited to play, while a couple of asian players were. Need one remind Monty that the Indian Jeev Milkha Singh has TWO second places and a WIN on the EPGA Tour...surely Monty's complaint about the Master's invite can hold no water. Before the US Open he is quoted to have said...." If I did not think I could win, I would not go"....well....after two rounds of the Open, Monty is at 13 over and lying 136th out of 154 playing the Open. Worse still, in the 2 rounds, he has not made birdie on any of the par 5 holes. He will miss the cut by the proverbial mile. I think it is time Monty learned to zip his lip !! As the saying goes....Produce or perish Monty... or at least be prudent with your expressed opinions !!! Right now they are making you look very silly.

hawkeye58 (U11451681) posted Jun 13, 2008 Please amend the details I mentioned in the earlier comment....( I did not realise that I was looking at his scores after 17 holes of the second round.He apparently bogeyed the par 5 18th hole too) After two rounds of the US Open, Monty stands at 14 over par, and 141st out of 154 players competing the event!! Makes even the most ardent fan wobbly kneed !!!
