Vijay Singh's 67 consecutive major streak is over

Vijay Singh also changed his mind and didn't show up in Columbus for the 36-hole qualifier, meaning he will miss a major championship for the first time in 17 years.

Garcia, who has fallen to No. 75 in the world, said only last month that he wouldn't go through qualifying. He had rounds of 68-67 at Tunica National in Memphis, Tenn., then got one of the four spots in a playoff to extend his streak in the majors to 47 straight. This was the first time since turning pro in 1999 that Garcia had to qualify.

Singh's streak of 67 consecutive majors -- dating to the 1994 U.S. Open at Oakmont -- ended with his no-show. According to the PGA Tour's website, he is no longer part of the field at the St. Jude Classic, and there is no other way for him to get into the U.S. Open. The USGA has said it would not give a special exemption this year, as it did for the Fijian for last year's U.S. Open.

So much for the streak. It's funny he got an exemption last year. I guess he's not very grateful.
