Golf’s Ryder Cup is threatened by scandal after European team captain Colin Montgomerie reportedly won a legal battle to block an embarrassing story about his private life.
Scottish star Montgomerie, who’s known as Monty, is said to have won a legal injunction in Britain’s High Court to gag a former girlfriend and ban newspapers from reporting her story or printing related photos.
But that hasn’t stopped fervent speculation on the Internet and in golf circles about the nature of the story and pictures.
The Arizona Republic’s Bob Young reported that the story and photos relate to “an alleged sex scandal,” and added, “frankly, we doubt anybody really wants to see photos of the full Monty.”
