Men who should know better

TURNBERRY, Scotland. Honestly, after a good 15- 20-minute laugh, the thing that came naturally was . . . well, to laugh again. Only this time for a half-hour.

Oh, those silly Scots sure know how to make my belly sore from so much glee. Outside the media centre here at the 138th Open Championship, the gray sky had unleashed sheets of cold rain, but inside there was a layer of good humour, courtesy of the latest dispute between Sandy Lyle and Colin Montgomerie, grown men who should known better.

Lyle, who followed up his 1985 Open Championship win with a Masters title three years later, personally side-tracked media attention from this week’s festivities at Turnberry with stinging comments about his fellow Scot, Montgomerie.
