Monty 'not afraid' of Open glory

Colin Montgomerie roared back into contention with his best score in an Open and then declared: ‘‘I know I can win, and I am not afraid of winning.’’

After slumping to a first-round 74, the 39-year-old Scot changed his clubs, changed his mood and proved a point to himself with a seven-under-par 64 - an improvement of a massive 10 strokes.
