harrington thirves on pressure whereas garcia crumbles under it

I share the sentiments of Concorde here. I like Sergio but wheres the bit of class in defeat. He was outclassed plain and simple but I've yet to hear him give Harri praise for either defeat. Its dissapointing. You get the impression they dont like each other. The handshake after the final hole on Sunday didnt show any great liking.

I agree with Micklee. Garcia's time will come but I also think Harrington has more majors in him. He surely must go down as our greatest sportsman ever!

I have to say, srgios is such a bad loser, he had the audacity to say that had he had a couple of lucky bounces that he would have won it, and he refused to acknowledge how good Harrington was. harrington is one of the most popular players on the circuit, and everyone loves him, because he is a gentleman and a credit to the game. Sergio has a lot to learn and behaves like a petulant child when it does not go his way. I am a Sergio fan, but he shot down in my mind when he moaned about his luck..

i do agree agree with yous guys. garcia is one of my fav players and i hope he does win a major. garcias play from tee to green is superb and up there with the best. for the first 15 holes he was brilliant. but yet again when push came to shove over the last few holes he failed to handle the pressure. however all credit to harrington, the guy showed what a great player and a fighter he is.

i agree garcia cant putt. but u have to look at his tee-green probably the best in the world (chipping and pitching aint 2 bad either) vamos sergio!! but gud on ya harrington!

I'm Irish and I would'nt be too hard on Garcia ... Harrington had alot af 2nd place finishes early in his career. He is 36 now and has earned the mental toughness it takes to win multiple majors... 3 out of the last 6 is some going even without Tiger .

the difference between harrington and garcia is that harrington produces the goods when it really matters and has plenty of bottle, whereas garcia does not. garica was great on the front nine but majors are won and lsot on the back nine on sunday.harrington stepped up a gear and showed balls of steel. garcia could not do the same when the pressure was really on. the last few holes showed how much bottle harrington has and how little bottle garcia has.
