Monty fires warning to his no-show Euro stars

Monty singled out Harrington and England’s Ian Poulter as players under his microscope in the countdown to final team selection.

The issue of the make-up of his 2010 European Team was raised on the eve of today’s start of the Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles in Scotland.
