Garcia Wins An Almost Big One

But this quote sticks with me:
“I want to thank Tiger for not being here…that always makes things a little bit easier.”
That quote tells you what you need to know about Garcia, if not the rest of the Tour. At some point, you have to quit worrying about The Man. Garcia has all the talent in the world and may have the best game tee to green on Tour. If he can ever get a handle on his putting (which he showed in flashes this weekend) then he would be a rival of Tiger’s. The rest of his game is that good.
And also, don’t give me the crap that Paul Goydos gave it away. Sergio hit it to four feet. He was winning that tournament. He actually willed this one, which is nice for a guy who hasn’t shown the mental strength he needs to if he wants to be among the game’s best.
