Monty still harbours major ambition

A REJUVENATED Colin Montgomerie still believes he can win a major and is desperate for the new season to start so he can prove how much his game has improved.

The 42-year-old Scot won a record eighth Order of Merit title on Sunday, six years after his last triumph, and the confidence gained from that has convinced him he can challenge for golf's elite trophies.

Montgomerie has finished a frustrating second in a major four times, the last being in July when he was five shots behind a rampant world number one Tiger Woods in the British Open at St Andrews.
