Sergio garcia is already prepared to face the Shriners Hospitals for Children, next stop of the PGA Tour that takes place this week in the TPC Summerlin from Las Vegas. As he announced, his recent victory at Sanderson Farms was not going to change the schedule he had already planned at all and his name appears in one of the illustrious matches of the appointment in Las Vegas: he goes out to play tomorrow Thursday at 9:00 p.m. 15 hours (Spanish peninsular time), along with Jason Day and Hideki Matsuyama.

This tournament goes one step further in difficulty compared to last week, if it can be expressed like this, taking into account above all the list of players, since we find three world top ten (DeChambeau, Morikawa and Simpson) and almost half of the world top 25, as well as the top 50.

Much has been said during the past week and in the hours after the Spanish triumph, about that peculiar way of kicking with closed eyes, a custom that Sergio had already put into practice for years with greater or lesser regularity. However, two changes made by Borriol went unnoticed, which also had their influence on the successful result. On the one hand, that modification in the way to grip the putter, extending the index finger of the right hand. About, Sergio has explained to Tengolf: “I was trying that way of holding the putter before the tournament and it gave me confidence. It gives me the feeling that the touch of the ball is more consistent and I will continue to use it ”.

The other novelty was the putter Spyder, model of TaylorMade, which was returning to his bag, an evolution of the one with which he won the Masters in 2017. Regarding this change, the Castellón native provides a fundamentally technical reason: “When you are using a ‘blade’ putter and you are playing the ball well, everything is fine, but if you are not so fine this type of putter has less margin for error, let’s put it like this. The Spyder forgives you a little more. And yes, I am also going to continue using it ”.
The definitive data to understand the magnitude of the genius of Sergio García
Well, they are precisely birdies, many birdies, which will be needed this week to win in the TPC Summerlin, a field where the winning result tends to go beyond the -20 record. Almost always, except in 2017, when Patrick Cantlay won with a cumulative -9 due to the strong winds that blew during the four days. This week, however, the weather forecast is rather benign, although on Saturday the influence of the wind could be more noticeable.
