Monty's a mate of mine but he has already won enough money this year. It must be my turn.

It's disappointing to shoot a 66 in the last round and still lose but you've got to hand it to Frank for his 64.

So I launched an eight iron at the flag and it was right on line but it stopped very quickly, 12 feet short.
The Independent (Kieran Daly)
2 June 1996
I hit every fairway and every green but just couldn't get a putt in until the last two holes. I'm playing well enough to win the tournament.
