Colin Montgomerie has issued a warning to Lee Westwood and Luke Donald that if they don't win a Major title soon they may never do so.

The Scot, who failed to win any of golf's most prestigious events, believes time is running out for England's top golfers.

Neither Donald nor Westwood, ranked number two and three in the world respectively, have won a Major title in spite of multiple PGA Tour and European Tour victories.

Speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live, Monty explained that he had an opportunity to win the US Open at Pebble Beach in 1992, where he was third.

"It didn't happen and of course the pressure is then on, as has happened with Lee Westwood and is happening with Luke Donald.

"They need to break through now. Lee's 40 this year and you don't often improve over 40."

Monty also said he regretted his famous run-in with spectators at the 1997 US Open at Congressional, saying he "paid for it for about ten years".

In his autobiography, extracts of which were published by the Telegraph, the 48-year-old explained how throwing away the US Open at Winged Foot in 2006 still hurts and can "wake [him] up in the middle of the night".
