À propos de la deuxième de couverture

Eight-time European number-one, Ryder Cup hero, praise for Colin Montgomerie has often been followed by carping criticism for his on-course demeanor. In America they nicknamed him 'Mrs Doubtfire' and 'Mr Grumpy' along with a few other choice titles - in Europe he is simply known as 'Monty'.

Over the years, he has learned to take such matters in his stride including tabloid intrusion into his private life and the very public break-up of his marriage. A perfectionist at heart, his uncompromising attitude to failure remains both his best, and possibly most misunderstood asset. Someone who hates to lose more than he loves to win he is a true golfing maverick who makes headlines whatever he does.

By the author of Driven: the bestselling biography of Nick Faldo, this book gets under the skin of Monty the golfer and Monty the man. From his early years growing up at Royal Troon, where his father was club secretary, to sinking the winning putt in the Ryder Cup at Valderrama in 1997.From the battle of Brookline in 1999, and despair at the US Open, to leading triumphantly from the front at the K Club in 2006, Monty Raw: The Definitive Biography of Colin Montgomerie unravels the man behind the moniker, and is the true story of this most charismatic of golfers.
