Sports: Is it Finally Sergio's Time?
Posted July 16, 2008 11:55 AM
The British Open begins this week, and with Tiger out for the year this opens up an opportunity for the rest of the guys in the field. It's kind of sad that these fantastic athletes have been relegated to simply, "the guys in the field" and those "guys" are everyone else in the world whose name isn't Woods. One of those guys is Sergio Garcia, who has more top tens in the open than anyone else this decade. Is it finally Sergio time? All signs point to maybe. Sergio is the favorite this week in Vegas at 8 to 1 odds. Garcia ended a three-year victory drought in May when he captured THE PLAYERS Championship in a sudden-death playoff over Paul Goydos, despite taking 18 more putts in regulation. Two weeks ago, he finished strong to finish runner-up at the French Open.
A mere five days from now we'll know whether or not this young Spaniard is Claret Jug worthy. He loves the British fans and they love him right back. "Hey, Serg, we want you to know that we love you too. Good luck! Oh, and bring some of your own fist pumping this week." If his putter abandons him, then we can also make a few strong suggestions as to what putters might bring him luck. All you have to do, Sergio, is visit our personalized gifts for men store, and let Guyville bring the putting mojo to you.
