European Ryder Cup success driven by ‘moral code’, says MontgomerieEuropean Ryder Cup success driven by ‘moral code’, says Montgomerie
Montgomerie said he was surprised that American Patrick Reed had publicly criticized his Ryder Cup captain Jim Furyk and team mate Jordan Spieth after the United States were thrashed by Europe in Paris 11 days ago. Reed told the New York Times that he had expected to partner Spieth, with whom he had successfully teamed up in the competition two years ago, and had been blindsided when they were split up in Paris. “I could be on to you all day about what goes on in the team room in the Ryder Cup and what’s been said and what hasn’t been said, but I would never ever breach that code to say anything,� Montgomerie told Officialsportsbetting.com in an interview on the eve of the 50-and-over SAS Championship, where he is defending champion.
