Monty’s dream team takes shape

EUROPEAN Ryder Cup captain Colin Montgomerie claims he has written down his “dream team” to take on the Americans at Celtic Manor in October 2010 and locked it away in a drawer in his home.

Naturally enough, he’s not telling anyone the names on the list. Given that Monty has been allowed three wild card picks of his own as against two heretofore.

The qualifying for Celtic Manor begins this week with the €2 million Omega Swiss Masters at Crans-sur-Sierre, a course that has developed into a worthy test, having been of the pitch and putt variety in earlier years.
