Bits That wasn’t just any Euro Tour win for Sergio Garcia Sunday. Garcia won the inaugural CASTELLÓ MASTERS Costa Azahar at his home course, a course he’s been playing since he could walk. Asked weeks ago in Atlanta what kind of challenge the course would be, Garcia said the track wasn’t overly difficult and predicted a winning score of 20 under par. His winning score? 20 under par Don’t you just love when golf courses have a reachable par 4 down the stretch, like Grayhawk does with its 15th? They are breather holes sure, but they can also come up and bite you at the worst of times Mike Weir accorded himself well Sunday with a T4 finish in defence of his Frys.com title. Still, before play began I thought a repeat was in the bag. Bites A check on the leaderboard at the Nationwide Tour’s Miccosukee Championship Friday afternoon was enough to make an onion cry — a DQ for David Morland, a WD for Brad Fritsch and an ill-timed MC for David Hearn. Only Bryan DeCorso qualifies for next week’s Tour Championship and he’s made only four of 18 cuts since winning in May I cringe every time I hear a sportscaster use the phrase “______ heard round the world,” which has been used many times to describe Justin Leonard’s putt at the 1999 Ryder Cup and which was used Sunday to describe, of all things, the early season hit that shelved NFL star Tom Brady. Do these idiots realize how big the world is? Do they think people in Darfur care about Tom Brady’s left knee or a golf match? Barbs So what should we make of the fact just four — Chris Baryla, Graham DeLaet, Bryn Parry and Brennan Webb — of 15 Canadians (just under 27 per cent) entered in the first wave of the first stage of PGA Tour Q-School advanced to second stage? At first glance it seems like a terrible percentage but consider that of 480 entrants the minimum number that could have advanced (were there no ties) was 138, or just over 27 per cent. Because of ties, 152 golfers made it through for a percentage just under 32. If just one more Canuck advances we’re ahead of the curve. First stage continues this week and 26 more Canadians are in action. Obscure Monday morning thought: I’d be remiss if I didn’t give props to David Kuypers, Jason Ireton, Mark Piccolo and Jarrod Barakett, four Ontario superintendents who last week dusted a quartet of golf writers (myself included) in a 27-hole match set up by architect Ian Andrew.
