I didn't vote....but I'm not rooting for Monty, but not because of anything he has said to fans in the past. Actually, I had been a fan of Monty's until a couple of rules issues in the past few years. There was the one where he insisted he didn't touch the ball with his putter, although video seemed to indicate he did... I could let that slide if he hadn't had some 'confusion' over where his ball had been in a bunker when play was halted, several tournaments later. In that one, play was halted, he had a terrible (feet perhaps out, ball in)lie in a bunker. He picked up his ball without marking and the following day replaced it in ... surprise! a rather nice lie. It could be coincidence... but ya' know what..I wouldn't be playing Monty for money unless I was friends with the guy who was caddying for him...and Monty wasn't. So I can't root for him anymore.

That is a very unfair statement.The putting indident was very contentious and was both "proved" and "disproved "by British TV.The Malaysia issue was officiated by the PGA.Monty is not a cheat.
