Big time win yesterday in The Players Championship by Sergio, who won in style with great clutch playover a "journeyman" who seemed destined to win. This tournament isn't a major yet but is clearly the most prestigious event after the four official majors and is treated like one.
Garcia has been hounded by the Caste media in recent years for his putting problems and failure to win a major, much as Phil Mickelsen was relentlessly pummeled with questions about not winning a major. Garcia isn't very good at hiding his disgust with the media, which is a big plus as far as I'm concerned. After all he's still only 28, has more tour victories than any player under the age of 30, is charismatic and has a "room brightening smile," yet is constantly criticized.
Even the caste announcers and commentators were agreeing yesterday that tee to green Garcia is as good as anyone, even His Lordship. So if he can maintain his confidence in his putting stroke there's no reasonSergio can't be a top five player for years to come and win some majors.
