Monty yet to decide on wild card

COLIN MONTGOMERIE last night insisted that he hasn’t made up his mind on which of the contenders battering down his door for Ryder Cup places would gain the three wild card picks.

He has been left with a particularly awkward decision because of the refusal of four key men — Pádraig Harrington, Paul Casey, Luke Donald and Justin Rose — to play in the Scottish Highlands.

Obviously, he can pick only three of the quartet while there are also several others who feel they are worthy of a place, not least the Italian Edoardo Molinari.
