Faldo: Monty Ignoring Me, And I'm Not Happy About It

Just like the spurned former Captain Azinger, it seems former Captain Faldo can't wait for Monty's planned sitdown at the Open.

“I didn’t want just to make my views known to him through the media,” said Faldo, who quit the German tournament on Friday after missing the cut.

“So I wrote to Monty three weeks ago suggesting we meet up for a chat, but I have not had a reply. I don’t think I need say any more than that. It says it all.”

Well, it says more that you're telling us.

At least Monty was clear in his reaction:

Asked about talking to Faldo, Montgomerie said: “I think Nick missed out here, so I don’t know what he is doing.”

Even better, it seems Monty's really been fine tuning his material in the build-up to the Cup:

Meanwhile, Montgomerie has revealed he has undergone a small blood transfusion in Germany in an attempt to speed up his recovery from a torn calf muscle, which threatens his appearance in the British Open at St. Andrews next month.

A doctor has injected the muscle with blood from a young cow.

“Apparently, the protein in it is a great healer,” Montgomerie said. “So now I am not shouting ‘Fore!’ on the golf course anymore. I am shouting ‘Moo!’"

And here I thought the moo's had to do with his girth physique.
