Sergio Garcia has his eyes on a Ryder Cup slot…and that’s it
You’ve got to feel a little bad for Sergio Garcia. Maybe very little, but still. Guy was supposed to be the next Tiger, we blink our eyes and he’s a 30-year-old with the "best never to win a major" albatross wrapped tight around his throat.
He’s playing this week in the Madrid Masters, and he’s got his eyes on one goal for the rest of the year: making the European Ryder Cup team. Yes, it’s gotten that bad.
Garcia, to his credit, freely admits that he’s aware there are severe problems. "I’ve always been a good ball striker and I’m not going to
lie, I’ve been struggling with that," he told Reuters. "And when that happens alarm
sirens go off, because that’s my strength."
Still, with some dedicated coaching from his father and his primary coach, he expects that he’ll be able to work his way into the top nine on the Ryder Cup standings, good enough for an automatic slot. He currently sits in 17th place.
Still, repairing his game isn’t the only thing that he’ll need to work on. He’s systematically burned out fans, whether it’s spitting in holes that don’t treat his ball right or whining about the conditions at Augusta or crying that it’s his ex-girlfriend’s fault. Nobody likes a whiner, Sergio, so get on out there and win a few, Don Draper-style.
