VOLVO WORLD MATCH PLAY CHAMPIONSHIP


May 17, 2012


Sergio Garcia


CASARES, SPAIN

Q.テつ Hard‑fought victory against Alvaro.テつ If you could just reflect on a good battle out there.
SERGIO GARCテδ喉:テつ Well, I guess you could say it was a good battle, because it was a battle.テつ That's about it pretty much.テつ I think the one that has the most credit today is the people that were following us for not walking off after 9 probably, because I can't really imagine that that was a lot of fun to watch.テつ We weren't playing very good.

Q.テつ It was a key point, key turning hole that you can reflect on where you thought you got it back?
SERGIO GARCテδ喉:テつ I think that we are going to have a stretch‑‑ I had a stretch there on 10, 11, 12, where he did hit some good shots.テつ I made a big putt on 11 to stay 1‑down, and then he had a great chance on 12 from about probably five feet, no more than that, to go 2‑up.テつ If he would have made that, the way I was feeling, I would have struggled.テつ I think I would have struggled to get it back.テつ I had a lot of holes but it would have been difficult.
You could see that he felt that, because after that hole, he struggled the next couple.テつ He kind of hit a couple bad drives and I managed to win both of them and got 1‑up.テつ And then I was fortunate enough to hit three really good iron shots coming in on 15, 16 and 17.テつ So that was about it.テつ

Q.テつ A good win, how do you assess the match?
SERGIO GARCテδ喉:テつ It's hard to say, I really don't know how to take it.テつ I would like to say that the guy that played was the least‑‑ it wasn't a good match to watch.テつ I give credit to the people‑‑ if I was on the grounds, I would have walked in, simple as that.

Q.テつ As a golfing purist, I enjoy watching golf like that.テつ The turning point, if I may, the 11th, the par5, when you holed that putt?
SERGIO GARCテδ喉:テつ I would probably say it was more the 12th.テつ I would say when he missed, because at some point in time, I was going to get lucky and I was going to make a putt.テつ But when he missed the putt on 12, he had me right there, and you know, obviously you could see he was a little bit deflated because of that.テつ And then I won the next two holes without really having to putt.
I managed to hit three good iron shots coming in.

Q.テつ It's very, very difficult physically this week; will you go to the range or just go back to the room?
SERGIO GARCテδ喉:テつ I will probably try to go to the range and hit a couple balls, not many.テつ I don't know, I seemed to hit it nicely on the range and then I go on the course and I struggle to hit good tee shots.テつ I don't know what's the deal with that.テつ But we'll try to hopefully find a way.

Q.テつ Your dad will be here to look at you?
SERGIO GARCテδ喉:テつ He will be.テつ I don't know if he can fix me though.
