Sergio Garcia Thanks Tiger for Players Championship Win

El Niņo The Latest Beneficiary of Woods' Let Others Have A Chance Tour
5/11/08


I feel bad that I had no idea Sergio Garcia had a good sense of humor on him, but usually when we see him interviewed after a big event he's upset and making up some excuses for why he lost. (see: every major he's ever been in contention going into Sunday)

Sunday afternoon the wind blew the right way for El Niño.

Most recently we saw Garcia putt away the 2007 British Open. Today, Sergio hit a big putt on the 18th to pull even with Paul Goydos, a golfer very few had hear of before today.

On the first playoff hole, appropriate No. 17, Goydos caught a gust of wind and ballooned his ball just short of the green. On Sawgrass' signature hole, that means water. Garcia stuck his shot close enough to win the biggest tournament of his career to date. It's not a major, but the huge $1.7 million dollar purse will do.

Rather than give credit to his great play over the weekend, Garcia thanked the appropriate person - Tiger Woods. He becomes the latest golfer to benefit from Woods recovery from knee surgery. Well done, Sergio.

Sergio is one of the biggest chokers in sports, it has little to do with Tiger.  He's the Andy Roddick of golf although today goes a small ways towards curbing that.  I was really pulling for Goydos, as his story is a heartwarming one.  Pete Dye is the master of gimmicky county fair miniature golf holes, and the whore that is the gusting wind on the 17th did Goydos in.  I'm with the Big Easy, blow it up.

Sergio is a cocky douche bag, and while I'm all for wearing emotion on your sleeve, surely he remembers how many times he's come up short in the past.  Stay humble for once.  And tell your popped-collar broham dipsh*t fans to leave the Ole chants on the soccer pitch.

And he can't seriously still be going by that nickname, can he?  Although it was probably still relevant the last time he won.
