SEASON IN REVIEW: Garcia ended a four-year PGA TOUR victory drought in a big way when he won the Wyndham Championship, the final event of the Regular Season, and played his way onto the European Ryder Cup team. The Spaniard nearly made it two-in-a-row, taking the lead into the final round of The Barclays only to be passed by Nick Watney and finish third. Garcia took the next week off and returned to the Playoffs to tie for 24th at the BMW Championship. -- Helen Ross

ALBERS’ QUICK TAKE: Fred Albers, on-course
correspondent for SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio, provides a quick look at
Garcia:
Still a curious decision to take a week off and skip Deutsche
Bank when he was playing so well. Very few players improve their
putting to the extent Garcia has this year. That's very impressive
to me.
