Montgomerie bids to get back on track

COLIN MONTGOMERIE is desperate to defend his Volvo Scandinavian Masters title after going back on his decision to miss the £1.3 million event in Stockholm.

Montgomerie shot a course-record 64 in the second round of the Open at Muirfield, but then crashed to an horrendous 84 on Saturday, and after closed with a 75.

Upon finishing he said: "I've pulled out of tournaments for the next two weeks. I can't handle it any more."
