Garcia takes over

Sergio Garcia, a lowly 103rd on the US Tour money list this season, gave a flawless display to lead the American Express world championship in Atlanta today.

The 23-year-old had a five under par 65 at the colourfully-named Capital City Club Crabapple for a one-stroke advantage over Americans Tim Herron and Rocco Mediate as others, Colin Montgomerie among them, struggled.
