GLENEAGLES' CENTENARY COURSE WILL BE A
FANTASTIC RYDER CUP VENUE, SAYS MONTY

Colin Montgomerie has hit back at Darren Clarke's criticisms of the Centenary Course at Gleneagles, the venue for the 2014 Ryder Cup.
Speaking after the first round of the Johnnie Walker Championship, Clarke had said: "There's only been one Ryder Cup in Scotland (in 1973 at Muirfield) and then they choose a course like this one. There are even two better ones here at Gleneagles (Kings Course and the adjoining Queens Course) - it's beyond my comprehension."
But Montgomerie, who may well be the European captain in six years' time, said: "People are entitled to their opinion and that's his. But my opinion is different."
He added: "It will be a fantastic venue. We have another seven years here and the course is getting better every year. As a venue and a resort there are very few better - the location and the hotel are world-class."
+Editor's note: The Irish venue (the K Club) chosen for the last Ryder Cup was hardly a links course and I don't remember Darren Clarke chirping about that at the time. If we are good enough to beat the Americans, then we will beat them wherever the Ryder Cup match is played.
