No Evans apology required in Monty row

Phil Casey

Evans claimed "98%" of tour members were not happy that Montgomerie had escaped any sanction besides a brief statement expressing the European Tour tournament committee's "dissatisfaction" over his incorrect drop during the Indonesian Open in March.

Montgomerie donated his £24,000 winnings to charity after viewing footage which showed he had replaced his ball in the wrong place after a suspension of play, but kept the world ranking points which helped him earn a place in this month's US Open much to Evans' apparent unhappiness.
