Monty on a roll in Loch Lomond

Just as he did in Paris last Saturday, Colin Montgomerie began to make good use of an unexpected chance to play today.

Montgomerie was convinced he had missed the halfway cut in the Barclays Scottish Open but, more than six hours after Europe’s Ryder Cup captain had finished his second round yesterday, Swede Martin Erlandsson let him back in by finishing his round bogey, bogey, triple bogey.
