Colin Montgomerie
Sue Lawley's castaway is golfer Colin Montgomerie.
Sue Lawley's guest this week is Colin Montgomerie.
One of the biggest earners in the history of golf, he's ranked number three in the world. Despite having a natural talent for the game, he'd never expected to play it professionally. Having applied for a job with a sports management company, his interview took place on the golf course. He played so well that the company persuaded him to become one of their stars.
