Sergio Garcia, relaxed and rolling once again

We bust on Sergio Garcia all the time around here, but every so often he reminds us who exactly the multimillion-dollar world-traveling golf pro is, and who he isn't. 

In the second round at the Australian Masters, Garcia rolled in a putt that would have been five stories high had it been straight down. Now, after two rounds, Garcia is the only non-Aussie in the top 10, ranking alone in fourth with a 4-under, six strokes behind leader Adam Bland. (For the curious: Tiger Woods is 1-under.) It's a major turnaround for a guy who as recently as last month was in the curiously honorary position of assistant Ryder Cup captain.

So yes, Sergio is surging. However, as Golf Girl's Diary pointed out, there may well be a reason for his success: the as-yet-unnamed lovely lady who's been spotted accompanying Garcia around town. Makes sense, right? If the guy falls apart when breaking up with a girl, he must play better when he's in love, right? Whatever, we're veering into dangerously Lifetime TV-esque territory.

Anyway, good on ya, Sergio. Keep 'em in the fairway. (I'm being literal, but feel free to entendre that to death.)
