Montgomerie was given the honor of hitting the first tee shot Thursday at Royal Troon, his home club, in what likely will be his last Open. TROON, Scotland (AP) " With his ball buried and up against the face of a pot bunker, Colin Montgomerie feared the worst after just two shots at the British Open. I'd led off the tee twice in the singles, led off the tee three or four times in the fourball and foursomes. It was a proud moment for the 53-year-old Scotsman but things soon were looking bleak after his 6:35 a.m. start. His second shot landed in what he described as a "horrendous" position and he couldn't get the ball out of the bunker.
