Sergio Cracks Under Playoff Pressure, WD's From Boston

The intensity of the algorithms, resets and overall immensity of the Playoffs got to Sergio Garcia as he withdrew from next week's Deutsche Bank Championship under the vast weight of the...wait?  What did you say?

Oh, it's to rest for the Ryder Cup? Well why not! He could win this week and next. Then there is a reset of the points before the final event that helps ensure more algorithm madness anyway. So why not take a week off?

Jim McCabe reports.

“Everybody knows how important the Ryder Cup is for me and I want to be fully fit there,” Garcia told PGA Tour officials after shooting 3-under 68 to get into a share of the second-round lead with Nick Watney at The Barclays. “I need to take a week off somewhere.”
