Seville music has Monty up to high doh ...

FROM THE DAILY TELEGRAPH WEBSITE
Furious Ryder Cup captain Colin Montgomerie made no secret of what he thought of some nearby music after a last-hole bogey 6 left him six shots off the early lead in the Spanish Open in Seville.
Even before handing in an opening 71, one-under-par, Montgomerie yelled at tournament director Miguel Vidaor after being told that the noise from the tented village had already been turned down once.
"Should never have happened in the first place," shouted the eight-time European number one before adding, with expletive deleted: "Is this a party or a golf tournament?"
Montgomerie had just three-putted the long ninth and, having bogeyed the 231-yard seventh as well, his hopes of ending more than 22 months without a top-10 finish had taken a real blow.
It came as no surprise in the circumstances that the Scot, famous for his temper, refused to talk to reporters after emerging from the scoring area.
It seemed rather appropriate that the clubhouse leader at that point was a former disc jockey, England's Paul Waring.
