AUGUSTA, Ga. Seve Ballesteros was Sergio Garcias idol. He passed away six years ago and wouldve turned 60 on Sunday.That fact, combined with a series of lucky breaks and a new and improved attitude, have many believing that Garcia may finally breakthrough and win his first major championship.But a victory at Augusta National, where Garcia once spoke of his dislike of the place, would be special for another reason that seems to be overlooked: Jose Maria Olazabal.

You know, it would be nice to have a chance and hopefully do it.Particularly since Ballesteros passing, Olazabal has continued to provide support and encouragement for Garcia, who has 22 top-10 finishes in majors without a victory.I had Jose send me obviously Seve couldnt do it but Jose sent me a beautiful message on Wednesday night, Garcia said, and you know, he has a good touch when it comes down to those things. It really meant a lot.
