| USPGA PROFILE |
|
| You wonder just how much has been taken out of the Spaniard after his Open play-off defeat by Harrington. For three days he was a class apart at Carnoustie and looked nailed on to end his search for a first major. However, his game unravelled on the Sunday and his putting, so often his Achilles heel, proved his downfall once again. The 'Belly Putter' looked to have steeled his nerves on the greens, but he couldn't hole a putt for love nor money during his final round and ultimately paid the price. He now needs to use that painful experience as a positive and the USPGA provides the chance for him to get straight back in the saddle. It was in this event that he exploded on to the scene with his second place to Tiger Woods in 1999 and he now has 13 top-ten major finishes to his credit, including two more at the USPGA in 2001 and 2006. It will be interesting to see how he fares with the spotlight back on him, but he has form at Southern Hills having finished tied for 12th in the 2001 US Open, and that could and should have been so much better had it not been for a forgettable final round 77. |
