OWINGS MILLS, Md. – Talk about perfect timing.
With the Ryder Cup less than a month away and Sergio Garcia stuck in a rut of bad form, Team Europe’s all-time points earner broke out of his prolonged slump on Thursday at the BMW Championship. Garcia opened the second leg of the FedExCup Playoffs in 7-under 65 and was one shot off the lead.
“Great way to start,” Garcia said. “Now, I've got to do just more of the same things, just keep trusting myself.”
Garcia, a nine-time Ryder Cupper (on six winning teams) who hasn’t missed the biennial matches since 2010, has plummeted in the world rankings this year.
