I think Sergio is emerging as the Tom Weiskopf or the Lanny Wadkins of his generation. It's hard to imagine, with his talent, that Garcia won't win a major sometime down the road. But it may just be one -- something about his game (right now, primarily his putting) just doesn't seem to hold up well under major tournament conditions. Similar to Weiskopf in that respect -- a tremendous ball-striker and mediocre putter, who during the 1970s was truly one of the top half-dozen golfers in the world. But he had to compete against Nicklaus, Trevino, Player and Watson, and couldn't put it together in multiple majors like those folks did. Wadkins is perhaps an even more apt comparison -- a terrific Ryder Cup record, who thrived under those conditions, but aside from the '77 PGA, repeatedly came up just short in the majors. I happen to like Garcia a lot -- I think he shows an enthusiasm for the game often lacking in some of our robo-golfers -- but he clearly has a major hurdle when it comes to majors.
Yesterday seemed further proof that Tiger will top Nicklaus' record, if only because his competition in majors is far, far less than what Nicklaus faced.
