When you think of Colin Montgomerie, a lot of different things might pop in your head. Cranky. Short-tempered. Not worthy of a portrait. What might be the craziest thing about the now 45-year-old, 2010 Ryder Cup captain is the fact that he has never won an event on the PGA Tour. Oh, and that he crankier than ever. During the Volvo Chinese Open, a cameraman was pushing the limit, and Monty was fed up with it. The following report, from a Scottish TV show, might be even more funny than the actual encounter.
Rag? Fudged? A good dressing?!? Apparently, Colin blew up at the cameraman, screaming and yelling and doing whatever it was that has now forced "spat the dummy" in my everyday vernacular. Thank you Scottish TV, and thank you Colin Montgomerie. With less John Daly in our lives, any and all camera-related encounters will be much appreciated.Colin Montgomerie today lost his rag at a hapless cameraman as he fudged his way around the Volvo Chinese Open.
Monty, never one to hold back when a good dressing down is called for, spat the dummy as the cameraman filmed him on the 8th hole of the tournament in Beijing.
The Great Britain and Europe's Ryder Cup captain, who says his new role has given him a new serenity, growled "don't film me" at the man who had filmed him hook his drive into the water.
