Monty Apologises

The ‘only reason we watch golf’ apologised today for his outburst at the London Club last week. Sky Sports sound technician, Ross Kimberley, was on the receiving end of one of Monty’s famous eruptions after he had hit into the water at the 13th.

When Kimberley responded to Montgomerie’s initial “do you have a problem here?” question, with a subdued “no problem at all”, the Scot retorted with, “you’re here because of me, remember that.”

"You talking to me?"

These comments shocked the golfing fraternity and Sky Sports columnist, Ewan Murray, described it as the “most embarrassing few minutes I have witnessed on a course.”

Murray called for a public apology, which he received today. “I was clearly out of line on this occasion” said golf’s answer to God. “I have spoke to Mark Roe and asked him to get the man’s address so I can follow this apology with another one.”
Montgomerie tees off today in the Scottish Open looking to enhance his Ryder Cup standings with a win. At the moment he out of contention in 34th place and relying on Nick Faldo to choose him as a captain’s pick.
