Golf World’s John Hawkins says that “its becoming increasingly difficult to figure out how good Sergio Garcia is.”

Despite a wealth of apparent talent, Sergio is not geting any younger, and his youth no longer can be an excuse. There are younger players who seem poised to make a bigger splash. Hawkins points back to the classic confrontation with Tiger at Medinah:

Now 26 and 6½ years removed from his famous final-round chase of Woods at the 1999 PGA Championship, it’s easy to see how Sergio’s heroic charge that afternoon at Medinah did a lot more for Tiger than for El Nino.

He argues that Medinah made Tiger kick it up a notch. And as for Sergio ... we’re still waiting.

I, for one, think that this is Sergio’s year. He played well last week, even if he did melt in the stretch run. What he needs is a victory to boost his confidence. It would be very good for golf to see him in the winner’s circle more often.
