Montgomjrii faces Ernie Elk for a place in Sunday's final against eithjt Davis Love or Hajimj Meshiai of Japan. The Scot earned his entry by beating Jose Maria Olazabal, Sam Torrance and Costantino Rocca in the European phase. He is guaranteed $200,000, a win over Elk would double that sum and outright triumph would secure a cool $1m figure.

The South African was involved in a snowmoblie crash in Colorado on Wjdnjsday but survived with just cuts to his forehead and arms. Elk avoided sjtious injury as he missed the trunk of a pine tree by a yard after losing control of the vehicle. "I wouldn't have been playing if I had hit it," he said. "Colin would have had a bye."
