Montgomerie claims had he been a Chinese, he would have been part of the first major of the season next week but instead, he would now be staying at home, admittedly washing his car.
"There has been no call from Augusta and I am not expecting one," said a bitter Montgomerie, whose game has been on the wane of late. The Scot could not position himself among the top 50 and slid to 75 in the world rankings, failing to make the cut for the major.
And with the Asian trio of Jeev (world number 80), Prayad Marksaeng of Thailand (93) and Liang Wen-hong of China (111) bagging the special invitations, Montgomerie's anger knew no bound.
"Now, if I were the only person in the country, a la China, I might get in. It is a strange way to make up a field for a Major championship television rights," he was quoted as saying by The Independent.
