Crazy Theory? Do clothes make the player?
Silly as this may sound, I was talking to friend at lunch yesterday about how I thought Sergio Garcia (who at the time had just finished up his second round and remained in the lead at -6) looked like he was serious about this week and that is was nice to see him in more mature looking apparel. "He finally looks like a golfer who could win a major", I said.
While I like the crazy and trendy look sported by some of the tour's younger players, it seems as though those guys never break through because they are worried more about style than substance.
So when Sergio comes out on the final day of a major wearing canary yellow from head to toe, I have to wonder how serious he can be taken or how serious he is taking himself... and sure enough after 5 holes he's already out of contention. Coincidence? I think not.
This morning, TNT shows Sergio warming up in this ridiculous outfit. Trendy, yes. Conducive to taking on the world's best and holding a lead at the Open Championship? Probably not.
I could be wrong (and I hope I am), but I think Sergio drops 6 shots and will be lucky to be at even after today's round.
UPDATE (11:30am) - OK, after nine holes Sergio is -2 and -8 for the tournament, so maybe my theory is wrong... or maybe it's because he's covered up those heinous red pants with black rain pants? Hmmm....
UPDATE (2:00pm) - Sergio stands atop the leaderboard 3 strokes ahead of Steve Stricker (who went an amazing -7 today). So much for my theory, but then again, he was wearing black rain pants all day that covered up the blood red pants.
What color will he show up with tomorrow. A simple black, white, brown or navy? Think again, I'm sure it will be a bright blue, green or maybe even pink? Cheers to Sergio... I hope he gets his first major tomorrow.
