Monty does not play well at Augusta, so the Masters is out. If he cant play at Troon which is his local club and win, then there is not much hope at the Open if played on links coarse.

The only time he seams to play well in the US is during the Ryder cup. I feel the PGA and US Open are beyond him.

Lets be honest here, Monty is a good European Tour player, not a Faldo, Woods, Els, Watson etc. These guys pull out all the stops and more to win, even if their season has been indifferant.
