Colin Montgomerie said golf had "not shown up" at the Olympics now that several of the world's top male players have decided against taking part in the sport's return to the Games in Brazil next month. Scottish golf star Montgomerie, one of Europe's most consistent Ryder Cup players, was among the delegation that lobbied the International Olympic Committee in Lausanne seven years ago for the sport to go back on the Games schedule. Golf is back at the Olympics for the first time in 104 years but the likes of McIlroy, world number one Jason Day and US Open runner-up Shane Lowry have all opted out, citing health concerns caused by the presence in Brazil of the Zika virus.
