Garcia on a roll

Sergio Garcia could be just three rounds away from once again becoming the top European in the world rankings.

On a day when Luke Donald was the only other member of Europe’s Ryder Cup team last month to break par – all 12 are back together for the first time since - the 24-year-old began the Volvo Masters at Valderrama with a four-under 67 to share the lead with his fellow Spaniard Jose Manuel Lara.
