After storming through the field on the final day of the HSBC Champions Tournament, Sergio Garcia holed a beautiful five foot putt on the 18th to force a playoff with fellow European Ryder Cup team mate Match Wilson.When Garcia dropped a seven-foot birdie attempt into the middle of the cup, it left him with three things. One, the HSBC Champions tournament Trophy and $5 hundred thousand winners purse, Two, the No. 2 world ranking spot, and three, the burning desire for his first major and possibly top spot in the world.
In the 41 appearances in majors since beggining his career Garcia has finished in the top ten fourteen times, but never has he reached that illustrious top spot, however after winning the HSBC Champions Tournament he made his intentions for the 2009 very clear.
The recent run of superb form from Garcia should leave Tiger Woods fearing for his No.1 spot life as the longer he is succumbed by injury, the more time Garcia has to improve and focus on hitting Tiger where it hurts.
Lets all hope Tiger maintains a good recovery and is fit and well for the first test of 2009, The Masters at augusta, where Garcia will be one, if not, the hot favourite!
