Golf: Honeymoon over and Monty's back

THE honeymoon is over and it is back to business for Colin Montgomerie in what he calls “a new start” in Seville tomorrow.

Montgomerie, married for a second time the week after missing out on the Masters, resumes his bid to keep his Ryder Cup place at the Spanish Open.

The competition includes cup team-mate Darren Clarke, who got back to winning ways in China on Sunday, and also former Open champion John Daly, no longer the holder of a US Tour card and himself returning to action after recent stomach surgery.

Montgomerie is now outside the top 30 in the Ryder Cup standings after a season that so far has fallen way short of expectations raised by his World Cup triumph alongside Marc Warren in November.
