Harrington 'surprised' by Monty stance

Padraig Harrington has expressed his surprise that Colin Montgomerie appears ready to sacrifice playing in the next Ryder Cup to be captain.

“We need to put our best foot forward every time and I believe he’s the man for the job, but I’m a bit surprised he’s prepared to give up his chance of making the team,” said the Open and US PGA champion in Abu Dhabi.
