Monty Expects Ryder Cup "Patrons" To Be On Best Behavior; Does Not Vow To Scowl At Each And Every Heckler
/Clearly living in fantasyland if he thinks the Ryder Cup galleries will refrain from heckling Tiger...
Q. What will it be like at The Ryder Cup where different rules of comportment take place; I expect it to be a little more noisy than usual given his circumstances.
COLIN MONTGOMERIE: Well, playing in The Open Championship, he will already have been to the British shores before that and he will come back again in September, so it's not his first time over there. And yes, as part of a team, it should be a little noisier than normal, but at the same time, we have a very knowledgeable crowd there at The Ryder Cup, and most of those Patrons, if you like, of The Ryder Cup, are members of golf clubs and respect the game of golf for what it is.
I think that there will be no issue at all; they are just very excited to have Tiger play as a professional in Wales for the first time, and they are very excited to see him and very excited to be part of the whole event. So there will be no issue with him playing The Ryder Cup. I just hope that he does play and performs well, because any tournament that is won with Tiger in it against Tiger is worth an extra point.
We do hope that he plays and plays well.
