I agree with Mizunoman, I would have though when the list of invites were been drawn up they would first look at those players who had just missed out on qualification & invite those who would have a realistic chance of at least making the cut. With Monty you would have a player who could lead the tournament for greens in regulation & who could certainly be expected to play past the first 2 days . Tee to green he is still one of the best players in the world , he should not be watching this tournament on the tv
