Scotland’s Colin Montgomerie has called for sport not to give in to terrorism by cancelling the Ryder Cup.
The $5m American Express World Golf Championship was cancelled in St Louis yesterday as a mark of respect for the thousands of people who died in Tuesday’s attacks on New York and Washington.
There are fears the Ryder Cup could follow the same fate, with American players understandably concerned about flying to England to compete at the Belfry.
However, Montgomerie said if the event is cancelled, it shows that the terrorists have achieved their goals.
