Returning to his home tour could do Sergio some good. He’s had a tough go of things with missed cuts in four of his last five outings.

Prior to that, he was having a great year, which leads me to believe he’ll get back on track in a low stakes week like this. Garcia won the Singapore Open in January and had consecutive top-10s at the WGC-Mexico, Valspar Championship and WGC-Match Play.

Gut Laercenhof is a course Garcia has proven he can conquer with a T29 in 2012, T12 in 2014 and T5 in 2016. He’s 31-under in that span with 11 of 12 rounds under par.

The vaunted iron player is 13th on the PGA Tour in strokes gained on approaches and is long enough to make some hay on the reachable par-5s on the back nine.

He’s 57th in strokes gained off the tee and is a slight positive around the greens.

Garcia also dropped longtime caddie Glen Murray in favor of Mark Chaney last week at the U.S. Open. Another tournament together could result in improved chemistry this week.
