Will hit opening tee shot at Open Championship
July 11, 2016
Montgomerie was given the honors of hitting the first tee shot of the 145th Open Championship at Royal Troon.
ANALYSIS
Montgomerie will be participating in his 22nd Open Championship this week, after snagging the final qualifying spot out of Gailes Links. The 53-year-old is no doubt a long shot to contend for the Claret Jug, but Royal Troon is his home golf course, so he may sneak into the weekend. Montgomerie has top-25 finishes the past two times Royal Troon played host to golf's third major. This is his first Open Championship in six years.
