The Outlook

Other than a two-week stretch in Mexico City and then at the Valspar, Garcia has been shockingly absent from any PGA Tour leaderboard this year. He is playing some of the worst golf of his career of late, missing the cut in four of his past five events. The only cut he made was a 70th-place finish at The Players. The U.S. Open has a way of exploiting any weakness that a player may have, and it looks as though Sergio is firing on very few cylinders right now. Shinnecock is not a place where you go to find your game, as it is one of the most relentless courses in the world. Look for Sergio to be a nonfactor this week. He's an enticing short for anyone looking to take the other side of his matchups.
