Garcia up by 2 at Players Championship (AP) |
His age suggests that Sergio Garcia is about to enter his prime and has every reason to look ahead. He already has six PGA Tour victories, 10 more around the world, has made four Ryder Cup teams and contended in a half-dozen majors. Comfort comes from looking back. The 28-year-old Spaniard showed up at The Players Championship with a putter he used in 2000, when he was a fresh-faced challenger to...

Couples makes the most of his chance |
| Fred Couples didn't realize until a few months ago that he wasn't eligible for The Players Championship, an event he has won twice and counts among his favorite.
Couples missed nearly all of last year with back problems, so he wasn't among the top 125 on the money list. But with so many players pulling out, from Tiger Woods to Martin Kaymer of Germany, Couples kept moving up the alternate list until he got in.
He made the most out of his 25th start at Sawgrass. |

Beside the 17th green lies the rowdy 19th lawn |
| Beside the 17th green at the TPC Sawgrass lies the 19th lawn, where spectators drink, gamble, nap, socialize, watch golf -- and drink. Brandon Freeman of Jacksonville takes the week of the Players off work so that he can hangout on the sun-drenched hillside on the left side of the hole, where he can see the tee shots and the green. Plus, it's close to a beer tent. So it's got that going for it, which is nice.

Sergio shoots 66 for two-shot lead at Players |
| PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. -- In a season notable for the rise of the 20-somethings, Sergio Garcia appeared too old for that demographic. For one thing, it feels like he's been around for decades. For another, his struggles with the flat stick are an old, old story. Coming into this week he was tied for 158th place in putts per round. He'd tried carrying two putters. He hasn't won on the PGA Tour since 2005.
