In an interview on The Golf Channel, Colin Montgomerie said prior to his play at the Scottish Open: "I plan on playing out here well beyond seniors golf. I’m 44, I’ve got five years before I become a senior. Seniors golf doesn’t interest me at this stage. I plan on playing out here in my 50s on a full schedule, never mind seniors golf. I don’t think seniors golf will fill me with any enthusiasm. I think this is where I play and belong and if it’s not here, well then I don’t think I’ll be playing." Montgomerie won his 31st European Tour event last week at the European Open.
