Sergio Garcia Seizes Lead in US PGA Tour Championship
Sergio Garcia, determined to take revenge for a disappointing Ryder Cup performance, took the lead in the US PGA Tour Championship on Saturday. The winner of this prestigious championship will go home with $7 million.
‘Garcia fired a three-under 67 to open a three-shot lead after three rounds of the tournament, which caps the FedEx Cup playoff series.’
He started the day two strokes behind American wunderkind and US Ryder Cup standout Anthony Kim, but closed the gap in his first nine hols with two birdies. Then, in the last four holes of the day, Garcia took the lead. He finished 54 holes at eight-under 202.
Kim, meanwhile, had a difficult day. He seemed uncomfortable from the moment the day started. He especially seemed distracted after his drive at the par-five ninth hit a spectator full on the head. The spectator went down, unconscious.
Although Kim is still young, he was already the hero at this year’s Ryder’s Cup. Many compared him afterwards to Tiger Woods, the already legendary American gulf player. He appeared well able to deal with the stress and pressure however, until today.
He is young and will need to learn from his mistakes and from accidents; developing cold blood is a slow process for any player.
