Garcia hoping for better luck in the Open

Garcia hoping for Spanish hat-trick

Take Sergio Garcia to win the British Open at the current price of 12/1 with Ladbrokes and get an equivalent free bet if you open an account today.

These things come in threes, don't they? Spain winning the Euro 2008 tournament, Nadal winning Wimbledon... and Sergio Garcia finally winning the British Open?

After last year's heart-breaking finish at Carnoustie, it's back to Southport and Garcia can finally put the disappointment behind him. With six Top 10 finishes from seven Open appearances, Sergio Garcia has for so long been the nearly man.

"I feel good with my game. I feel good with myself. I feel like I'm getting better as a player every tournament I go around," he said earlier this week. "It doesn't matter what anybody else says."

"I have to go out there and do what I know how to do, believe in my ability to do it and then give myself a chance at winning.

"It's nice to be favourite but it doesn't mean it's going to help me, like my chances are going to be better because of that. I still have to go out there and perform."

With a second place at the European Open in his back pocket, Garcia is deservedly the bookies' favourite. If you're feeling edgy about betting on golf (and we wouldn't usually recommend it), get yourself on each way - back Garcia's consistency on British soil and at least double your money.
