"What's eating Europe's captain for the forthcoming Ryder Cup?"

The Daily Mail's Alan Dickson on Monty's grumpier-than-normal disposition Saturday:

Nobody does misery quite like Colin Montgomerie, whether it is huddling under a brolly in the rain or twiddling his putter like a cheerleader's baton in frustration at a missed opportunity on the 18th.

On days like this, when he was desperately struggling for a score that would make the cut, Monty's slightly bloodhound look of world-weariness can make Inspector Morse look like a stand-up comedian.

What's eating Europe' s captain for the forthcoming Ryder Cup? We cannot be sure, for after posting a decent 71 to end one over, the 47-year-old Scot declined to speak to those assembled to listen.

Monty was all smiles this morning when he arrived and I was just that lucky to be walking by the R&A clubhouse.

What's eating Monty is that he's been outed as a cheat(in golf and marriage).

Marriage problems for sure.

The state of European golf has never been better. They should be the prohibitive favorite in this Fall's Ryder Cup. Their team captain should be poised to become a hero after they win. . . Why is Monty being petulant? . . . Because he is, as he always has been, a self centered jerk who cares only about himself and his own golf game.
