Though he has achieved moderate success with his local teams as well as in several tournaments, Montgomery is still working diligently to achieve his career goals of winning the honour of tournament champion on the world stage at either the World Masters or the World Championships at Lakeside, though his preferable outcome would be to gain both titles.
