Nick Faldo, the European Ryder Cup captain at Valhalla 2008, is regarded by most observers as a man more than capable of starting an argument in an empty room.

To a similar extent, the man at the helm of Team Europe at Celtic Manor in 2010, Colin Montgomerie, is seen as another golfer who is often a
'9-iron short of set' when it comes to on-course, or even off-course, matters.
Fellow professionals, sponsors, the media, tournament organisers ... generally anybody who chooses to cross the abrasive Scot will find themselves left in no uncertain terms as to what are the views of Troon's No.1 golfing export.
Uncompromising And Blunt Approach
Going into the Ryder Cup this assured, but uncompromising and occasionally blunt, approach is a concern to many who feel the winning of the trophy is as much about man-managament as it is about physical golfing talent.
"Europe had the best team in 2008 but somehow Faldo found a way to blow it," said the country's leading golf betting tipster Keith Elliott on the eve of the tournament.
"Now Montgomerie, who has earned his chance to lead the side just like Faldo before him, must realise that he needs to put himself second and the team first. His deputies (Thomas Bjorn, Darren Clarke, Sergio Garcia and Paul McGinley) will be vital in this respect.
"Europe will win the Ryder Cup, of that I'm sure, but you can't help feeling that an alternative, like Jose Maria Olazabal, would have been more of a success."
