Sergio GARCIA - Spain - 2006 Ryder Cup (P5, W4, L1)

The main photo above and the left hand inset picture show Sergio during the day one four balls when he teamed up with fellow Spaniard Jose Maria Olazabal to record a comfortable 3&2 victory against David Toms and Brett Wetterich. The right hand inset photo shows Garcia and partner Luke Donald lining up a putt during the day two foursomes when they saw off the challenge of the American pair Phil Mickelson & David Toms by a 2&1 scoreline. It was a terrific week for Garcia,who boasted four wins from four pairs matches before a singles defeat to Stewart Cink saw him miss out on the opportunity to become only the second player in Ryder Cup history to win all five matches,the American Larry Nelson in 1979 being the sole player to previously achieve the feat.
