Matt "Monty" McLaughlin

Monty has the longest winless streak on Tour. The mantle of "Best Player Never To Win" haunts this fiery Irishman from Beantown. In the past he would lose it as the tourney started by missing his 1st tee time or losing a club. However, at Pinehurst Monty was challenging the ultimate champ & fellow Irishman Mudrock until moving day, when he wilted under the tremendous pressure of Course #2. It had been awhile since he challenged, so this was seen as a positive sign for San Diego.

His post Greenjacket performance peaked with a stunning victory at The Vesper Invitational in August. In that victory Monty flashed his brilliance with the flat stick by draining everything in sight. However, some critics have likened that victory to Chris DiMarco's win at the 84 Lumber Classic. Nice win, but show us a green blazer & a picture with Hootie. Regardless, based on this elevation in his game, early oddmakers are only giving this horse a paltry 3:1 payout.
