THE PLAYERS CHAMPIONSHIPMay 13, 2007Sergio GarciaPONTE VEDRA BEACH, FLORIDA Q. Pretty good weekend? SERGIO GARCIA: Yeah, definitely. I played very good on the weekend. I barely missed a fairway and barely missed a green on the last two days on this course. I'm very pleased with that. I felt comfortable all week with my swing. I felt like I was in a good rhythm, and it's a shame I think it's going to be just short. At least I gave myself a shot at it, and that's all I can ask for. Q. The first few days, just a slow start? SERGIO GARCIA: I played great on the first day with those wind conditions. I couldn't really make a putt. Things weren't just happening to me. Everything seemed to go wrong the first couple of days. Finally on the weekend I kind of probably loosened up a little bit and things kind of started happening. On the other hand, I gave myself so many good birdie chances. I guess at the end of the day you've got to make some. Q. U.S. Open coming up, this is a good -- SERGIO GARCIA: Yeah, it's good, definitely. Always, every time you play well it's a great boost of confidence. I want to keep working on what I've been doing. I really felt -- the last two weeks I felt very, very good with my swing. I felt like I was striking the ball very, very nicely. Unfortunately last week I putted like a coward. But this week I found a couple of things there and started rolling the putts very nicely. Even the ones I missed, they were very good quality putts. I think that's all you can ask for yourself. Q. The putter, how long have you had that? SERGIO GARCIA: This week. It's a very similar look. It looks pretty much the same as the one I've been using pretty much for a year. That's the way it goes. Q. There was some debate out on No. 2 with the drop. SERGIO GARCIA: I don't think there's anything to talk about. I've never tried to do anything wrong on a golf course. If I would have felt at any time that I wasn't taking full relief, I would have called for a ruling and do whatever was right. But I felt like I did and that's all there is to it. I took relief from the drainage, but it's not a big deal. Q. It's not a big deal? SERGIO GARCIA: No, not at all. Cliff's caddie wanted to make it a big deal, but it wasn't. Q. Did that -- emotionally, did that get anywhere to you afterwards? SERGIO GARCIA: It did a little bit on that second green and on the third, because pretty much, I mean, they were calling me a cheater on that. You never like that. I've never cheated in my whole life. I'd rather shoot 85 than shoot 65 cheating. I never liked that. So I felt a little bit -- it was a little bit of adrenaline going through my body. I finally relaxed towards the fourth or fifth hole and kept playing the way I was playing. It was one of those things that happen. Q. Did it cost you any strokes? SERGIO GARCIA: It definitely did. It probably cost me at least one. Q. That's got to hurt. SERGIO GARCIA: It's fine, but you never know. Maybe I would have not finished the way I finished. It is what it is. End of FastScripts |
