Monty: Make Lee the team leader
World number one and newly-minted PGA champion McIlroy, 23, may be in red-hot form since securing his second major victory last month but Montgomerie, who captained the Holywood star on his debut in Europe’s victory over the US at Celtic Manor two years ago, believes the Irishman is not ready to carry the golfing hopes of a continent.
“I don’t think Rory is classified as the team leader yet on the course,” Sky Sports analyst Montgomerie said. “I’d give that role to Lee Westwood, as I did, really, two years ago. I think Lee is the team leader on the course although Rory is number one.
