"Bravo, Sergio. What a classless way to wave adios."

A glorious takedown by the Daily Mail’s Derek Lawrenson of Sergio Garcia following the Spaniard’s pitiful display at last week’s Wells Fargo Championship, supposedly one of his last on the PGA Tour before the whiny one takes his aging act to the Saudi Golf League.

I had forgotten about Sergio Garcia.

Given how much he had whined in Dubai at the start of the year about the established tours denying him the chance to make more money, when he's down to his last £100million in the bank, I must admit to feeling a tad embarrassed.

But, fair play to the temperamental Spaniard, he's come roaring back into contention in a style so spectacular as to render null and void any chance of forgetting him in future.

'I can't wait to leave this tour!' he screamed at a PGA Tour referee at the Wells Fargo Championship in Washington last week. 'Two more weeks and I'll be gone!'

You do feel sorry for Garcia, don't you? The purgatory he's had to put up with over the last 20 years in America, on his way to making $54m in prize money, plus a pension pot of at least twice that amount.

Bravo, Sergio. What a classless way to wave adios.

Say what you like about Lee Westwood's decision to team up with this dubious band of mercenaries, but at least he's doing so with a bit of dignity.
