Garcia finished sixth at Riviera, carding four
rounds in the 60s. He birdied four of his final
five holes to post a 6-under-par 66 and finish
second at THE PLAYERS Championship, two
strokes behind Phil Mickelson. Garcia held the
lead after the first three rounds of the British
Open, but made a bogey on his 72nd hole at
Carnoustie to finish in a tie with Padraig

major, including finishing in the top five in the last
