OMEGA DUBAI DESERT CLASSIC

February 12, 2011

Sergio Garcia

DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES

Q. Sergio, let's get rid of the nasty stuff first. 17, what happened from your point of view? Didn't look like you did a lot wrong?
SERGIO GARCÃA: No, I think it's unfortunate. I guess you're fighting all day, I felt like I was doing pretty good in the conditions. And hit a great shot on 17, I think it was just right of the pin and expecting the ball to be maybe on the green or just around it. Maybe I can get up-and-down for three. Apparently the odds of hitting an eight-inch-wide pond from 340 yards are bigger than I thought. I hit a trunk and then went back in the push and made a good double.

Q. Positives you can take from the day? You played the front nine beautifully.
SERGIO GARCÃA: Yeah, I didn't play the back nine that badly. I hit a couple bad shots, but I was holding it nicely. I was 9-under. I had a couple chances to get to 10, and if you manage to shoot even par or 1-under, even 1-over in these conditions, is a good score and I was on my way.
If something different happens on 17, I birdie there and you never know, I might birdie the next, and I'm at 11-under instead of 7.
So there's really nothing you can do about that I guess.

Q. Thoughts on tomorrow? You're still very much in this.
SERGIO GARCÃA: Yeah, that's the good thing. The good thing is that we are still in it. We are only one or maybe two back at the most, and it's a shame, because I could at least have had a one-shot lead.

Q. 2-over par for the third round of the tournament, extremely tough playing conditions, tell us how difficult it was.
SERGIO GARCÃA: Yeah, I mean, I hit a few good golf shots and the wind was really tough and swirling, and the greens were extremely firm today.
