Garcia putts himself in form for US Open

SERGIO GARCIA has achieved the same number of victories in America as Nick Faldo, Seve Ballesteros and Jose Maria Olazabal. And he is still only 25.

What Garcia has not done, of course, is include a major in his six wins but this week he aims to put that right by following up his two-shot success in the Booz Allen Classic at the US Open.

The Pinehurst event is Garcia's 27th attempt at a major and the third time he has gone into it on the back of a win.
