Monty didn't earn an invitation.......Casper did! How he played is irrelevent. Casper is a former Masters Champion and that fact alone is enough for me. When Casper won his Masters the rules said winners got a lifetime exemption. The rules didn't say you can only play if you're competitive. Maybe Casper's misfortune will discourage any further "former champions" from following in his footsteps and some good will come from this.
