Player Notes If there was one incident which sums up why Colin Montgomerie is such a vital component in Europe’s Ryder Cup team, it came during the final day of the last contest at Brookline in 1999. With Europe’s challenge wilting, the dogged Scot stood resolute in the face of pressure, both on and off the course, to defeat the late Payne Stewart on the final green. In the end it did not matter in terms of the overall result, but try telling that to Colin Stuart Montgomerie MBE. To him everything to do with The Ryder Cup matters - deeply.
