Birdies and bogeys from the week in golf.

Birdie: Sergio Garcia. There are times when you forget that he's only 28. But even he says, "I feel like an old man."

All the disappointments have a way of aging a person. And a balky putter also isn't good for your health.

But Garcia finally pulled it together Sunday to win the Players Championship, his biggest victory to date. It isn't a major, but it is pretty darn close.

Garcia came through in the clutch on 18 to make that key par-saving putt. Will it be the putt that launches him to bigger and better things? Perhaps. Remember, he's only 28.

Birdie: Paul Goydos. Too bad he had to lose, but Goydos won a lot of fans with his relaxed approach. He made it look fun, not agonizing. There's a lesson to be learned there.

Birdie: Jeff Quinney. Made a strong run. You'll see his name up there again.

Bogey: Phil Mickelson. He had a chance, entering Sunday in a tie for fourth. But he let it slip away with a 78.

Bogey: Kenny Perry. With all the focus on his playing partner, Goydos, Perry probably wished he could have disappeared. No such luck, as he suffered through an 81.

Birdie: Ernie Els. Showed some positive signs with a tie for sixth.

Bogey: Vijay Singh. So much for my pre-tournament pick. Singh missed the cut.

Bogey: Steve Stricker. Missed the cut for the fifth time in his last six tournaments.

Bogey: Jesper Parnevik. After shooting an 85, Parnevik probably is trying to figure out when was the last time he posted such a high score.

Birdie: Annika Sorenstam. Guess she still has some golf left in her. She posted her third win in eight starts with her title at Kingsmill.

Birdie: Colt Knost. Remember the U.S. Public Links and Amateur champion who decided to skip the Masters to turn pro? Well, he won the Fort Smith Classic on the Nationwide Tour. That should quiet some of his critics.
