"It's almost like the plans came in for the greens and they got multiplied, significantly."

Paul Casey on Monty's design work in Bahrain, host of this week's European Tour event. From the AP:

The brand new European Tour event in Bahrain is played on the Montgomerie-designed Royal Golf Club course, which has been criticized by some players because of the severe undulation on several greens.

"(Montgomerie) is clearly going to get a bit of stick from the players," Casey said. "It's almost like the plans came in for the greens and they got multiplied, significantly. Just very severe slopes. ... I mean, Monty knows he's got a target on him this week, but we're going to have fun with him. We're not going to be too hard on him."
