Check That: Sergio Is Still a Big, Whiny Baby

This is what I get for hopping on the "hey, maybe Sergio Garcia isn't such a whiny baby" bandwagon. Yesterday, I mentioned that the sourpuss formerly known as El Niño had apparently matured in the last 12 months, and instead of blaming everybody/everything for his amazing knack for choking on golf's biggest stages*, he had started to bear some of the responsibility.

Yep, that didn't last. Here's an extended version of his post-round press conference, and if you're an impatient sort, just fast forward to the 1:20 mark or so.



For those of you too lazy to watch the video (but, oddly, not too lazy to read) Internet golf expert Shane Bacon explains:
... [Garcia] went ahead and gave the media a little leg sweep, saying they'll turn around anything he says to make him look bad. It's worth watching, especially if you're on the fence about Sergio. Did you know he's never hit a bad shot?
The thing is, when Sergio finally wins a major, he'll probably be more unbearable than he is now. Awesome. Perhaps Vijay Singh can give him some advice about how to handle fame.

* To be fair, he didn't choke on Sunday, but after hearing him bellyache I sorta wish he had.
