ABERDEEN ASSET MANAGEMENT

SPONSOR COLIN MONTGOMERIE

Aberdeen Asset Management, sponsors of 1999 Open champion Paul Lawrie, have added Colin Montgomerie to their golfing "stable."

Monty has signed a long-term sponsorship deal, of which the details have not been released.

Eight times European Tour Order of Merit winner Montgomerie, who is 43, said:

"In sport today anything that's long term at 43 is great. I feel in a very fortunate position as I honestly believe there is a lot of improvement left in me."
