I mean this in the nicest way \u2013 but Sergio Garcia belongs on a list of the best players never to win a major.<\/p>\n

I reiterate that I mean it in a nice way because usually one\u2019s inclusion on the list is a painful reminder of their failure to capture one of golf\u2019s greatest championships. But, after reading Gary Van Sickle\u2019s list of the 10 best players never to win a major, I think Garcia should be insulted with his exclusion.<\/p>\n

Forgive me, but Van Sickle has lost his mind if he thinks Bubba Watson, K.J. Choi and Nick Watney are guys with better careers than Garcia. You can\u2019t even make the argument that Garcia hasn\u2019t been around lately and therefore he doesn\u2019t deserve to be considered \u2013 the guy\u2019s finished in the top 10 in each of the past two majors.<\/p>\n

As I clicked on the headline I figured the top two guys would be Garcia and Westwood but I wasn\u2019t sure in which order. Westwood is there at #1, but Garcia is nowhere to be found.<\/p>\n

Van Sickle\u2019s list identifies 10 of the top 11 who\u2019ve never won a major, because everyone who follows golf knows Sergio is amongst this group. He\u2019ll have to win his way off of future lists.<\/p>\n

Then again, maybe Van Sickle is trying to tell us something. Maybe he believes this is the week Garcia gets to leave these lists forever\u2026<\/p>\n<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
