Colin Montgomerie would like to see Donald Trump's Turnberry golf course host the Open Championship.
The 61-year-old, who has 31 European tour wins to his name, made the claim in a recent interview with BBC Scotland.
He said: "As a professional golfer, a professional Scottish golfer, I really hope it is [used].
"It's ranked number one in Scotland and in Britain, and rightly so. It's the best course in Scotland, and it deserves to host an Open.

"And let's hope the authorities can all get together and find a way around it, and make that happen, and the sooner the better."
It comes after Mark Darbon, the chief executive of the R&A, outlined his hope that Trump's Ailsa course could feature on the Open rota in future.
In April, the Prime Minister’s official spokesman did not deny that officials had spoken to the R&A about the venue for the 2028 tournament, but insisted it was not a decision for the Government.
He said: "It’s clearly right and proper and usual for Government to engage with organisers of major sporting events as part of the business of government, but in terms of decisions around tournament hosting venues, that is for the relevant sporting bodies to take decisions on."
