Colin Montgomerie hoping to return to form at the Irish Open, Adare Manor

Posted by under Latest Golf News, Mens Pro Golf

Recently re-married Colin Montgomerie, goes into the 2008 Irish Open at Adare Manor today at his lowest position in the world rankings for nearly 18 years.

Unable to command a place in either last month’s Masters or last week’s PGA Tour Players Championship, Monty is now down to 88th in the world a nd fully aware he has to improve his form to have any real hope of a ninth Ryder Cup cap in September.

The last time the 44-year-old Scot was ranked lower was October 1990 - before the first of his appearances against the Americans or the first of his record eight European Order of Merit titles.
