Montgomerie set for assault on rankings

AFTER sitting out only one event in the last eight weeks Colin Montgomerie would be excused for looking tired on the eve of the Barclays Scottish Open at Loch Lomond.

Instead the 42-year-old is excited. Not just about this week, but about the rest of the season and beyond too.

Joint runner-up in the European Open on Sunday, Montgomerie moved back to 40th in the world as a result. At the start of the year he was 81st.
