Looking at Garcia's body language at the moment, he looks like a man who doesn't love golf. Perhaps retirement is on the horizon?
Sergio Garcia...the end?

He's hitting the ball very well its just his putting as usual, probably one of the worst short putters on tour, would be an epic player if he could solve that problem

He looks so miserable!

I feel bad for him as he used to be so cheerful and now he looks depressed

Just watched him drain two putts over twenty feet...is his putting really the problem....
Never.
I love the way folk concentrate on him and not the biggest man who's game is finished....Ernie Els.

I hope Ernie isn't finished as I base a lot of my game including my swing on the big guy

I can't beleive how sombre he looks. After that shot out of the trees, then a drained putt, not even a smile. He looks totally dejected

But still if he's managing to get round looking dejected at least he's getting round! Takes a long time to enjoy the game again after how much of a bad spell he's been through !

It kept him in what? The guy is a knob.
As long as it's not his blindman putting.
The man is finished as a winner and has been for a while.

A bit harsh shanker! To say he's depressed he's still in the top ten at the us open after 3 rounds. He is consistently playing 3 out of 4 rounds well per week, once he gets confident with is putting and finishes well on that final day he'll get his confidence back. ( stupid Greg Normans daughter!) viva Sergio!

But at least Ernie's been there and won Majors. He's been around a long time.now.
Sergio wont win one. He may have enough of a game sometimes but his mindset will leave him one of the best players never to win a Major.
It's a shame.

Do you think he would have become a different player if he had held on to win the Open at Carnoustie in 2007? I think that really knocked the stuffing out of him.
It is a shame but he is such a long way from the exuberant teenager running up the fairway and leaping to see where that amazing recovery shot finished in the US PGA. Just checked to see when that was - 1999, was it really that long ago? It is a shame that maybe he will go down as a player who never fully fulfilled his talent. I'd love to see him find a putting stroke that worked and win a major, as I think would many golf fans.
As for Ernie, he's in a different place. He's 41, he's won 3 majors and has had a great career. Not many players go on winning regularly into their 40's or win majors. He also has family to think about, especially his son who has autism. He won't be the player he was in his prime but that's sport. Time moves on, bodies grow old, the hunger diminishes, other things become important and a new generation comes along.

Sergios posture is bloody awful. I cant understand with all the people around him why someone hasn't said anything. far too upright and far too much flex in the knees. Surely those alone would fug up your swing.

What does it matter when you're one of the best ball strikers out there. There's nothing wrong with his general play, it's his putting.
