Montgomerie bids to return to form

Colin Montgomerie is desperate to defend his Volvo Scandinavian Masters title after going back on his decision to miss the £1.3m (€2.1m) event in Stockholm.

Montgomerie shot a course-record 64 in the second round of the Open at Muirfield, but then crashed to an horrendous 84 on Saturday, and, after closing with a 75, said: “I’ve pulled out of tournaments for the next two weeks. I can’t handle it any more.”
