Player gives Monty boost
Colin Montgomerie
Montgomerie has never won any of golf's four majors
Golf legend Gary Player believes that if Colin Montgomerie can stay relaxed, the Scot can break his major duck and win this week's Open at Troon.

Montgomerie, whose marriage broke up earlier this year, was born and married in Troon and has admitted he is dreading returning there.

"With Colin, it has always been a matter of mind-set," Player, a three-time Open winner told BBC Five Live.

"If he had had the right mind-set, he would have won majors already."

The South African added: "If anybody deserves to win a major, it's Colin Montgomerie.

"To be leading money-winner seven times on the European Tour is a record and it is absolutely outstanding."
