Monty's Manor

I am the Ryder Cup, I suppose Colin Montgomerie

For twenty years Colin Montgomerie has been Europes go-to guy in the Ryder Cup. He has been the catalyst, the leader, the closer. The man they call on to take down Americas big guns, the man they turn to when a win is desperately needed to steady the nerves. Now in the twilight of his career he has one last role to play: In 2010 he is Captain of Team Europe in their quest to regain their trophy.

Montgomeries record in golfs showpiece tournament is unparalleled. Since 1991 he has performed in eight Ryder Cups, winning five of them and has never, ever been beaten in a singles match. He is the most talked about European golfer of his generation but, agonisingly he has never managed to win one of golfs major championships.

Montys Manor gets right inside Colin Montgomeries history with the Ryder Cup from his debut in 1991 right up to and including the drama and excitement of this years contest in Wales. Iain Carter has had unprecedented access to key players on both sides of the pond, caddies, coaches, friends, foes, rivals and reporters. Through their eyes we look back on two decades of successes and near misses. It is through them that we get to see the real Monty.
