Monty-Poulter feud brews

So much for the big, happy family that is European golf. With 48 hours left until Nick Faldo announces his Ryder Cup squad to play the United States next month the pressure finally told on two potential team members yesterday as they forsook the pressing business of catching the captain's eye on the golf course to indulge themselves in a catfight off it. "Oh well, it is nice to be told what to do by one so young and so inexperienced," said an apoplectic Colin Montgomerie last night at Gleneagles, where he is competing in the Johnnie Walker Championship. He was responding to comments by Ian Poulter in Boston, where he is competing in a PGA tour event, to the effect that Monty should mind his own business after the Scotsman claimed the Englishman had a "hotline" to Faldo. "I don't need to talk about Monty," said Poulter, then immediately ignored his own advice. "He should just keep his head down and try to play good golf." "Can you believe he said that?" came Monty's response. "The only reason we said he had a hotline to Nick Faldo is that he is the only one saying he had spoken to Nick. Has anyone else said it? No. Right then."

Id pick Monty over Poulter every day. Forget his attitude(which has improved), but when he plays Ryder Cup, his game improves out of sight and he is a VERY good matchplayer.

Have to agree beast. Monty is tried and tested under Ryder Cup conditions!
