Sergio Garcia, 27, is perhaps the best active player never to win a major.

Q: How is Michelle Wie’s recovery from a wrist injury doing? What’s the most common injury for a pro golfer to cope with?
— Neal Lewis from Scranton, Pa.
A: The Wie camp has been very quiet in recent months, so it’s hard to get an accurate assessment of her wrist injury. She obviously missed the Kraft Nabisco Championship, but there are strong indications that she’ll return to action April 12-15 in the Ginn Open in Reunion, Fla. It makes sense. The tournament wants a high profile and what better way than to include Wie, who would be playing not far from where her instructor, David Leadbetter, is based. As for what injury ails a golfer the most, the back would be your runaway winner.

Q: Why is it that golf course superintendents want amateur golfers to replace, or fill-in divots while on a course, but at PGA Tour tournaments the pros must play on fairways containing what appears to be hundreds of divots?
— Pat O’Brien from Cantonment, Fla.
A: Superintendents would prefer divots replaced, when it makes sense. If you don’t have a good chunk of the divot, it is recommended you use whatever fertilizer mix is on hand. With Bermuda grass, it’s often useless to replace a divot, because the grass is so frayed. PGA Tour caddies will replace a divot, if it’s intact, but many times you’ll see them ignore it — not because they’re inconsiderate, but because they know the hole won’t be fixed by replacing that divot. Because PGA Tour pros 99 percent of the time make great contact with their fairway shots, they consistently make more divots than, say, a steady stream of 14-handicappers at your local municipal. Still, hitting out of divot holes is a tough task, but then again, only the pros should worry about this. For the rest of us, there are preferred lies.
