He's not much of a team player, which I suppose is a good thing normally when you're in his line of work but in this case it's all about the influence he can have on the team and having him sulking his big sweaty arse off just because he's not playing well is just not going to have the effect that we really need.
A joke post surely? Monty not a team player? He's one of the best team players around, never failed to turn on the goods in a Ryder Cup, and when he has been off colour slightly (when teamed with Lawrie for example) inspired and encouraged his rookie teammate to great things.
With Monty's record, where he always plays way way better than in strokeplay events, he'd be an automatic pick for me,
unless the likes of Harrington/Garcia/Westwood all need picks, which seems unlikely with the new format.
