Sergio Garcia
Top Spaniard, Sergio Garcia, remains the best golfer in the world today still yet to win Major, despite thirteen top ten finishes. Surely his time will come soon. He and Miguel Jiminez are the two top Spanish Players in the world rankings and both are in good form this season. Sergio has had three top ten finishes in the PGA, his best being his runner up spot to Tiger Woods in the highly memorable 1999 tournament. He was also runner up in 2007 at the British Open where he lost in a play off to Padraig Harrington. Unfortunately Sergis was disqualified at this event laat year but had been third in 2006. He has won 17 professional tournaments thus far, including the '5th major', the Players Championship, which he won earlier this year.
World Ranking
He is currently ranked 6th in the world..
Playing Style
Sergio has had many comments made about his swing, which is far from conventional, yet he hits the ball pridigious distances off the tee and as he say's "he would rather have a swing that works for him than a perfect swing that does'nt". He has a superb short game and, on his day is red hot on the putting surface.
