Sergio Garcia might be finding his form just in time to terrorize the U.S. Ryder Cup team.Garcia made seven birdies during an opening round of 5-under 66 to sit just two shots off the early lead at the European Tours Portugal Masters.It was Garcias fifth consecutive round of par or better, a stretch that includes rounds of 66-65-67-70-66.

A few weeks ago he was a controversial selection by European Ryder Cup captain Thomas Bjorn. After missing the cut in all four majors, Garcia could have been left at home in favor of such players as Rafa Cabrera Bello, Matt Wallace (a three-time winner this season who, once again, is at the top of the leaderboard in Portugal), Matt Fitzpatrick or Thomas Pieters. But Bjorn tabbed Garcia, noting his Ryder Cup experience, his sterling foursomes record and his influence in the team room. If Phil Mickelson is the U.S. player under the most pressure to perform in Paris, all eyes will be on Garcia next week especially since it could be one of his final opportunities to wear a European uniform, as hell be 40 for the 2020 matches.Garcias 66 matched his lowest opening round of the year and puts him in position to secure just his second top-10 since March.
