PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. -- Rory McIlroy cried when he watched Sergio Garcia claim last month's Masters -- and not in the way you might think. These weren't tears of sadness over the one major which still eludes him, or tears of jealousy over a buddy slipping his arms into the green jacket instead. The way he tells it, they were tears of pure joy, unbridled happiness for a colleague whose tumultuous journey had finally reached a dramatic pinnacle.
These two players might not exactly be kindred spirits, but they do share a common tendency.
