Harrington opt-out surprises stars
Harrington went back to the top of Europe's Order of Merit by beating Ryder Cup team-mate Thomas Bjorn in a play-off for the Deutsche Bank-SAP Open in Germany on Sunday. But he has chosen to miss the circuit's flagship event simply because he has never had a top-10 finish there.
Montgomerie, who in stark contrast has had three wins and three seconds, said: "It seems very strange. He shot 61 in the World Match Play it's the same course, isn't it?"
