Just how acutely Colin Montgomerie has been affected by his omission from the team became clear at Muirfield this week when he likened picking up a voicemail from Nick Faldo last Sunday to the day when he was told his mother Elizabeth had just died after a short battle with lung cancer in 1991. Listening to Faldo explain that he wouldn't be in the team "was like losing my mum", he says. "When someone is terminally ill and expected (to die] and then suddenly the phone call comes through from my dad then it's a shock. This was nothing similar to that obviously, but at the same time it has that same feeling. When there is half a chance and it doesn't happen then it is difficult."

Come on Colin, whining isn't going to give you sympathy.

Faldo is just making the calls he thinks are best.
