Monty Continues To Insist He's Not Interested In 2014 Captaincy But Will Take The Job Only--ONLY--If Asked
/I thought this headline to Bernie McGuire's Reuters story was misleading: "Montgomerie Interested In 2014 Ryder Cup Captaincy."
That said, Monty sure can't shut his trap about the '14 Ryder Cup at Gleneagles, this time after Sandy Lyle suggested Monty would be a strong candidate.
"I don't know where Sandy is coming from but that's just his own opinion, I suppose," Montgomerie told reporters on the eve of the Andalucian Open on Wednesday.
"But whether or not I am captain in 2014 depends on how things go in 2012 and what the committee's feeling are.
"I am just there to support the Tour, as I've always said," Montgomerie added.
"Anyway, I am sure I will be involved because of my affiliation with Gleneagles whatever that might be.
"But if asked again, and because of my involvement for and with the Tour over the years, I would have to accept. Only if they wanted me.
"But they would have to approach me. I wouldn't be approaching them."
Sounds like someone still wants to run the ship!
