Woosnam will once again look to 43-year-old Montgomerie to fire up the defense of the trophy.

The big Scot has a majestic cup record of 21.5 points from seven appearances and another four would see him pass Nick Faldo's mark of most overall points for either side.

Like Woods he says he has a new role "not just in playing" that he enjoys and that he will elaborate on on Sunday, presumably only if Europe have, for the first time, won the trophy for the third straight time.
