Changes aim to blunt needle

CAPTAINS Colin Montgomerie and Jose Maria Olazabal have agreed on a change to this week’s Seve Trophy - to try to avoid any grudge matches.

Olazabal has taken over from Seve Ballesteros for Continental Europe against Montgomerie’s Britain and Ireland side at The Wynyard near Middlesbrough.

In the three previous matches Montgomerie and Ballesteros sat down before the final day and chose who played whom in the singles.
