Garcia is thinking big
THE last four Major winners have been first-timers and Sergio Garcia could be in line to extend that streak.
The 36-year-old Spaniard has 22 top-10 finishes in the Majors without tasting victory.
“I would love to make it five in a row,” said Garcia, referring to last year’s PGA winner Jason Day, 2016 Masters champion Danny Willett, US Open winner Dustin Johnson and Open champion Henrik Stenson.
“My goal is to play well, to give myself another shot at winning a tournament, winning a Major, and then see what I can come up with.”
Garcia tied for fifth at last month’s US Open and at Royal Troon and was encouraged by the brilliance of Stenson, 40, who set scoring records in edging Phil Mickelson, 46, in a final-round Open duel.
“It is nice to see,” said Garcia. “If you stay healthy, you still can give yourself a lot of chances. That’s my goal, to keep giving myself chances.”
