trt:
Let's get Monty out of the way first: He's always miserable, even when he wins which, nowadays, is never. But, having said that, he speaks eloquently and honestly. I've watched him for many years and at least he's consistent when it comes to temperament.
Therefore, having a go at him now's a bit rich, he'll never change. And I think it's true to say that he's undoubtedly one of the great golfers never to have won a major.
As for Tiger, I saw his interview with Hazel Irvine yesterday after he'd failed to qualify. Sure he was down in the mouth, of course he was, he'd just failed to qualify for the first time for the final 36 holes of the Open. He was, however, polite and articulate and the final two rounds will be the poorer without him (and Monty!).
