Golf: Monty melts down as Noren leads

Colin Montgomerie ended with him carding his worst 36-hole score in a European event for more than 20 years.

NEWPORT: Colin Montgomerie’s return to Celtic Manor, the course where he led Europe to Ryder Cup glory last year, ended with him carding his worst 36-hole score in a European event for more than 20 years. Europe’s victorious captain in their Ryder Cup match against the US in October added a 79 on Friday to his first round 78 in the Wales Open. That left the Scot on 15 over par and when he missed the cut he was in joint last place.
