As the reigning champion, Sergio, second to last today after the 13 on 15 is expected to put the jacket on the winner. What is he going to do for those two days he isn't playing? Maybe he could get an exemption to play those rounds just to keep busy. If the field is an odd number after the cut, there would be a spot.
Interesting commentary about that 13, he just wanted to make that shot work and the course kept saying no. Sort of a Van de Velde insistence on the game doing what the player demands. Doesn't work that way.
