...club-head speed and a palpable love of the game. The son of a Spanish golf pro and a woman who worked in the clubhouse shop, Sergio was, only five months ago, an unknown amateur. Now, after a sensational summer campaign in Europe and a thrilling debut at the PGA Championship, he is an idol at home and a phenomenon worldwide.
