OPEN PROFILE
It's one of golf's big mysteries why Monty has repeatedly failed to live up to expectations in the British Open. Whether it's the added pressure of being the home favourite or that his game isn't suited to links golf is unclear but the bare facts are that Monty has missed the cut six times in 12 Open starts and finished in the top 20 just twice. The former seven-time European number one still hasn't given up hope of landing a deserved first Major but he hasn't got close since his US Open second place in 1997. Prior to that he lost play-offs at the 1994 US Open and the 1995 USPGA. The Scot has looked on the wane at times this season but he bounced back with a pillar-to-post victory in the Irish Open and his confidence is back again. A missed cut at Lytham in 1996 is a black mark but as long as it doesn't blow a gale he could finally live up to his billing.
