Lyle in spat with Monty for cheating comment

TURNBERRY, Scotland: Just two days before the start of the British Open, Sandy Lyle apologized to Ryder Cup captain Colin Montgomerie for bringing up a four-year-old incident in which his fellow Scot was accused of cheating.

That said, Lyle didn't back away from his belief that Montgomerie placed his ball in the wrong position after a rain delay at the 2005 Indonesian Open.

Montgomerie was cleared by rules officials but issued an apology and donated his prize money to charity.
