Sergio Garcia Quotations

You don't laugh about your fellow professionals. But, for sure, I'm going to watch and I'm going to compare what I did and what they're doing or what they can do.

What a back nine we have here. It's amazing. I remember watching in '97. I wanted to come and play Congressional. It was a good opportunity to play a course with so much history. I didn't want to take the chance of missing this week.

We're getting a lot of local citizens from Jacksonville calling in to get reservations.

We really enjoy each other's company, ... Although we want to beat each other in everything we do - and there's a lot of competitiveness there - we like each other.

When I'm playing my best and find myself in contention late on Sundays, it's usually when I'm not thinking about my swing, but rather trusting my setup and smoothly pulling the trigger. I won't completely rely on feel - I like to keep a few images in the back of my mind to make sure that I get the most out of my driver, irons and wedges.

We're looking forward to seeing it settle down and getting started. I think that it's looking really good.

Six or seven years ago, Monty was playing amazing and now it looks like he's playing pretty well again. He struck the ball very nicely today. He was in good form.

My game is pretty good and that's the most important thing. I had a great week last week, so I don't regret going there.

Of course, it would be great. But every single win that I have feels like a great win. And it might not be a major yet, but I feel like I've learned from everyone of them.

My good shots seemed to be bad and my bad shots were bad. So, you know, it all adds up nicely.

Obviously, the good thing about golf, it's difficult to really, really blow it after five holes unless it goes really, really, really... really, really, really wrong. But you still have 13 to go, and if you have a good run, where you make five or six birdies, you can get it back somehow.

I was still waking up six or seven hours before my tee time. I'm slowly getting back into it.

I got off to a bad start and hit a couple of bad drives and had two bad lies and was hitting it sideways from then on. I made a weak bogey at seven after a great birdie on six.

If they compare you with a good player, that means that you have something in your game.

I'd like to have longer hair, but mine just doesn't grow.

I don't know why my head wasn't in the right place at the beginning, ... I was a bit tentative and Simon started well which put a little bit of pressure on me. Getting up and down for par on the third and fourth was huge for me to keep me in the right mood and after that I started loosening up and made a few birdies.

I don't apologize for my clothes. There are a lot of bad dressers in golf, and I don't think I'm one of them. There are a lot of bad dressers in every business.

I have been close. I've been very, very close many times. But unfortunately things haven't worked.

I finally hit that green. I've been trying for three years. I finally hit it high enough and it was nice to see it finish so close.

I feel like I'm at 7 under without doing anything extraordinary yet.

Giselle has no problem. She does really well in school. Some kids it might affect. They might go to school and speak Spanish. She does everything in English.

He helped me a little with his double-bogey on 17 but Monty's playing well and know I won't be able to shoot 70-71 to win.

To concentrate intensely for 4 and a half hours, that's too hard for me. Too tiring. I concentrate 'lo maximo' on the 'golpe,' the stroke, but between strokes I'm interacting with the crowd or laughing with my caddie, talking about the spectators, the cute girls.

To comeback from that double-bogey and shoot six-under from there, that was a pretty good effort. I've been working a lot on my putting and its time to make things happen. It great to see putts going in. It is a new feeling for me and its a wonderful one. Hopefully we can keep it going like this.

He shot 67 in tough conditions and on a difficult golf course. He played awesome.

He is playing unbelievable golf but when you are in contention every week it takes it out of you and he has to think about the whole team,

I think I proved myself today, and I think the British Open is done, so I don't want to hear any more questions about it.

I think it's been a solid season. I wouldn't say it's been extraordinary, mainly because I haven't putted well. To have won once here in the U.S., had quite a lot of top-10s and be performing quite well in the majors, and being 190th or something like that in putting ... still a pretty good effort.

I think it's been a solid season, but I wouldn't say it's been extraordinary mainly because I haven't putted well,

It is good enough. The way we played it, there are a lot of long-iron shots, the greens have a lot of slope to them, so it is definitely a pretty good test.

it gives me a chance to return to Europe and support my tour there, and more than anything, get some nice rest before the next season.

I think that it's going to bring us (top players) a bit more together throughout those first probably eight months of the year,

Just haven't played well. I guess a bit of everything. Sunday my good shots seem to be bad and my bad shots are bad. It all adds up nicely. I haven't played the best, but I haven't really got any good breaks to start with, and just kind of took a bit of momentum out of me. And it's pretty much been happening every single last round.

just a little bit sore on the upper part of my back. It bothered me a little bit today, but it wasn't too bad, so I'll get it sorted out this afternoon, and hopefully by tomorrow, I'll be sweet.

I think I'm ready to win. Of course it would be great. This is what we play for.

I sure would. No matter who you are and what you have done you might not get picked and, secondly, I would rather he uses one of the spots for someone else rather than me. It would make me happier and probably him too.

I'm still leading and I cannot play worse tomorrow than I did today. I felt like an 8-year-old again.

I'm hitting the ball well and my putting is starting to come around. It's getting there. It has been improving slowly for the past month or so. It's just a matter of hard work and keep believing in myself.

That's the real fast Mercedes, ... Don't print that -- you can't say that!

That's the one thing Tiger is good at: Even when his game is not spot-on, you know that he can get in the hole and get around. That's what you need around here and I feel like I'm starting to get around that.

I was really committed to come here and try to win, unless I win a WGC event or a Major,

I wasn't having a good feeling. We wanted to change something to start over. This week, I've made some nice putts at the right moment.

You'll see a lot more of us than you will usually see.

You just made this kid's life. This is something he'll have with him forever.

You just have to turn the scoreboard around. That?s the only thing.

When it comes to hitting solid drives, the secret is to swing within yourself. I know that sounds like a cliche, but it's true. If you swing at 100 miles per hour and hit it on the toe, you won't hit the ball as far as you would with an 80-mph swing that catches the ball in the center of the clubface.

Whether it's golf or writing, you have friends, and then you have 'friends' friends. Friends who are like family. I can count my close friends on two hands, which is good, I think. That's a lot. Some are at home in Spain, others are elsewhere, and some are in golf.

Today was a little better than yesterday, even though I got off to a bit of a shaky start. I played quite solid, hit a lot of greens. It was good, and it's going to be an interesting weekend.

This would be (big) but I don't want to get ahead of myself. The course was playing extremely tough and it's going to get worse.

Tough conditions and a Sunday on a difficult golf course, where the greens were just right on the limit - I think he played awesome.

The day was quiet, there was logical profit-taking after the gains posted during the prior session.

We knew we needed a big day to get close to the English boys and now we have a chance to win.

To be sincere, I think I played like (dirt). I didn't play very good at all. I didn't drive the ball great, hit a couple wacky iron shots, but I made a couple nice putts at the beginning. I guess I managed to get a half-decent round. Overall, not too bad.

With iTunes and Spotify and Pandora and this and that, you don't need to buy CDs any more.

Two thousand? Two thousand was... Valhalla. He's not back at where he was in 2000 for sure.

Expectations for lower inflation in the first half of March were confirmed toward the end of the session, helping the market maintain its upward tendency.

We've got a bit of bone stuck in our throat and we want to take it out of there. It would have been a wonderful thing to do that last year with so many people following us.

There is still a long way to go. I like where I am although I would have liked to be closer because I have played better than the score suggests.

You have to play well all year long and you have to get to the Ryder Cup playing well,

What can you do? You're not going to kill yourself. You're just going to keep working on it and hopefully one of these years I'll have a good Sunday.

What can you do? I wanted to play well, there's no doubt about that. It's been a long week, a long trip from Abu Dhabi. I felt a little bit tired all week long, and unfortunately it caught up with me today. But that's all you can do, and go on to next week.

You have to realize you are going to have to make some birdies. You have a lot of par-4s you are hitting wedges into, and these guys can play, so you have to make some birdies. I'm looking forward to (today).

You have to realize you are going to have to make some birdies, ... You have a lot of par-4s you are hitting wedges into, and these guys can play, so you have to make some birdies. I'm looking forward to (today).

Copy my favorite moves and my Tour-proven setup positions, and you'll start catching it on the sweet spot every time, with every club in your bag.

I've been trying for three years to get an eagle chance on the fifth and I finally did it,

I've been trying for three years to drive that green. Today, I finally did it.

I've been trying for three years to drive that green.

I've never grown my hair much. It's actually fun just to be able to hold on to something.

The way I was playing maybe I would have had a chance at Wentworth Club (in the HSBC World Match Play Championship) but I don't care. I'm happy here with my people and it's a wonderful feeling to come through like I did and play the last 13 holes in five under par.

It would be a shame, no doubt about it. I just love that place. It's an unbelievable golf course. ... I think we would have to respect what the members want, but it would be a downer for me.

I've always felt I should do things 100 percent or not do them. It's all or nothing. That's what makes me a good athlete - doing things with all the 'ganas' I can.

I've always enjoyed the competition and playing against the best. That's why I came to the U.S. to play on this tour.

I've always enjoyed competition, playing against the best. That's why I came here to the U.S. to play on this Tour. It's going to be a fun day, and by no means is it going to be easy.

Scheduling for top players like we are will definitely be a bit different than it is now. We'll be playing a lot more here in the U.S. and I think that's always great.

Probably not the best thing to do for the players.

That was a big hit on my head. She was a lovely person, very caring.

Your woods, irons and wedges are built with specific lengths and lie angles, which demand that you stand to the ball a little differently for each one. The secret is to know which elements of your address position remain constant, and which ones you have to tweak to match the club in your hand.

You never like to finish on a bogey, but there is a long way to go and if I can get the putts to drop and get some momentum going, it will be good.

You're a little more relaxed on Thursday. Once you get closer to the end, if you have a chance to win you tense up a little bit.

A lot of investors were taking advantage of good prices, and a lot of investors stayed on the sidelines.

There is no way I can play worse tomorrow than I did today. I felt like an eight-year-old again. But the good thing is that as much as I struggled I am still in the lead and I've just got to play as I did Thursday and Friday.

This is what we play for, to try to win the PLAYERS Championship and majors. But every single win feels like it's been a great win.

They're so much faster. Some of the changes in the break are not what we're used to seeing.

There's been enough good news to support the market, but we're in a stage of profit-taking after some spectacular weeks.

It's just one of those things. It didn't want to go in.

It's a shame because you never like to finish a round with a bogey but it was a tough day in the wind,

It's a slow process. You can't go from struggling, having trouble holing putts, to making everything just like that. If I keep making good putts here and there, feeling confident, consistent over the ball, it's going to be important.

It was really fun, most of all. It was joy, it was pressure, it was, I will tell you, the best day of my life.

It was a tough putt at the beginning. It was uphill to start and then down with a 6- to 7-foot break. I hit it a bit too hard, but I wanted to make sure to get it there.

It's a great golf course. It's a driver's golf course. It's narrow and long so you have to hit a lot of drives. It's a good test of golf.

It really doesn't bother me. I know what I'm capable of doing. I know what my limits are. I'm not worried about it at the moment. I know I'm going to have chances,

It's going to be a fun day and by no means is it going to be easy. You know, I played the first couple of days with (Woods) and enjoyed it quite a bit, so I'm looking forward to seeing what I can do.

It's a very difficult thing to do, because for me, there's obligations I have in Europe, too,

It's a very difficult thing to do because, for example, I have obligations that I have in Europe and I have to play in some tournaments there,

It's nice to have other hobbies, other than golf. I've played football, I play tennis. I enjoy doing things other than golf, and poker is one of them.

It's still going to be a low winning score. But maybe not as low as we're used to seeing.

Sunday my good shots seems to be bad and my bad shots are bad. So it all adds up nicely. And it's pretty much been happening every single last round. But what can you do? You're not going to kill yourself. You're just going to keep working on it, and hopefully one of these years I'll have a good Sunday.

It's a matter of having the right week. I'm not worried. I'm pretty sure it's going to happen. I don't know when but it's a matter of time. I've always enjoyed the U.S. Open. It's one of the majors I have the best chance of winning.

It was nice to hit some good shots coming in to put a bit of pressure on Monty. Then he helped me a little with the double at 17.

It was nice to hit some good shots at the end and put a bit of pressure on Monty,
