Monty can see 1-2-3 for Europe in Open

COLIN MONTGOMERIE will be watching rather than playing this week — and believes he could witness something that has not happened in the British Open since 1938.

Having failed to qualify himself for the first time since 1989, Monty would not be in the least bit surprised to see a European 1-2-3 at Sandwich.

And no prizes for guessing that Rory McIlroy, Luke Donald and Lee Westwood are the players he can most easily picture leading the race for the Claret Jug.
