NO LETDOWN

The last major championship Sergio Garcia played in was last month's British Open when he lost in a playoff to Padraig Harrington.

He showed no signs of a hangover at Southern Hills.

Garcia shot even-par 70, leaving him five shots behind the leader Graeme Storm.

"The British, even though I didn't win, it's going to be good for me in the future," Garcia said.

COUNTRYMEN STRUGGLE

While U.S. Open Champion Angel Cabrera struggled to 81, which included 10 on the par-3 sixth hole, his countryman did not have any more luck.

Andres Romero, who was in contention at the British Open before finishing third, matched Cabrera with 81. It included triple-bogey 6 on the sixth.

Romero also had five bogeys and two double bogeys.
