He's simply a choker - pure and simple. He did great things in Ryder cups because he didn't really care. It was all about himself and the elusive major. When the chips were down, he choked every single time.
There's only one reason a player as talented as Monty could never win a major. Karma. The guy was a complete prick, so bad shit happened to him. I couldn't believe how near the end of his career fans started pulling for him, when he has never treated them with any amount of respect.
@A2G84 He only ever had a problem with American fans. After the unbelievable abuse he suffered at Brookline is it any wonder he lost all respect for them?
That's good work by the cameraman and the director there. At 3:44, it looks like a pretty run-of-the-mill bump and run. When they switch to behind him at 3:50, it shows how difficult a shot it actually was.
@yankees162009 he and mickleson were lucky to be in that position in the 1st place, ogilivy went to water for about 4 or 5 holes and gave up a 2 shot buffer he had leaving the 9th. He still had to make clutch shots to give himself a chance and he did, the others didn't, the best man won.
@raff23 I agree Ogilvy hit the shots under pressure to win. Monty though made that huge putt on 17 and hit the hard shot which was the drive on 18. Both were clutch shots. He just had to hit the green/make a par and it would of forced a birdie from Ogilvy and a par from Mickelson for a playoff.
@yankees162009 ogilivy also got unlucky on the 18th when his ball landed in that drain or divot after what appeared to be the perfect tee shot which than affected his 2nd shot, did very well to scramble a par with clutch putting,.

So ironic that iron shot came from a man so famous for his distance control...

His best chance to win a major by far. All he had to do is hit the green and he wins.
