GREATER NOIDA: European Tour great Colin Montgomerie headlines the strongest field ever assembled for the Avantha Masters teeing off in India today. Montgomerie, an eight-time winner of the European Order of Merit, faces a tough challenge from a strong field in which 50 of the 156 players have tasted victory on the European Tour and 38 have secured titles on the Asian Tour. The Scot will be joined by fellow former European Ryder Cup stars Niclas Fasth of Sweden, Ignacio Garrido of Spain, England’s David Howell, Italy’s Edoardo Molinari, Frenchman Thomas Levet and Philip Price of Wales. Leading the Asian challenge at the $2.3 million event will be four Asian Tour Order of Merit champions — Thongchai Jaidee of Thailand, the Indian duo of Jyoti Randhawa and Jeev Milkha Singh, and China’s Liang Wenchong.
