It has been a long time since Sergio Garcia reached the second position in the world ranking, at the end of 2008, but the player from Borriol continues to fight to gain positions in the always competitive world ranking, where there are four Spaniards in the top-100.
At this moment, after his seventh place in the Tampa Bay, Florida, of the North American Tour, where he finished five strokes behind the champion, the American Kevin Streelman, Sergio is the best positioned Spaniard in the world ranking. He is in sixteenth place.
It is necessary to advance another sixteen positions to find another compatriot, Gonzalo Fernández-Castaño, while the other two Spaniards in the world top-100 are Rafael Cabrera Bello, 64th, and Miguel Ángel Jiménez, 75th, who is close to returning to competition after the fracture in his right leg he suffered while skiing in Sierra Nevada last Christmas, which forced him to undergo surgery.
Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy continues to lead the world ranking with 11.50 points, followed by Tiger Woods with 10.35 points. The third place is occupied, already at an appreciable distance, with 7.16 points, by the Englishman Luke Donald. Sergio Garcia accumulates 4.91 points, the same as Northern Ireland’s Graeme McDowell.
