Breaking news:Montgomerie was right in his criticism and why the deluded golf legend was cruel to belittle him.full details below 👇 👇
Tiger Woods missed cut by a mile at The Open – he is only one who still believes’At Pinehurst he did not seem to enjoy a single shot and you think, “What the hell is he doing?” He’s coming to Troon and he won’t enjoy it there either.
