Monty counting on fear factor and a big third round

COLIN MONTGOMERIE is hoping the fear factor will come into play in the third round of the UBS Hong Kong Open.

Montgomerie fired four birdies and no bogeys in a flawless 66, at Fanling Golf Club yesterday, to end the day four shots behind halfway leader Rick Gibson of Canada.

With Paul Casey missing the cut and Thomas Bjorn off the pace, after four-putting the 17th, Denmark’s Soren Kjeldsen is the only other European Tour winner in the top 10 and Montgomerie is hoping his experience will tell in the final two rounds.
