Sergio Garcia Good Quotations

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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'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.

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 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,

It was a difficult day. The good thing, I guess, is that as much as I struggled today, I am still in the lead and have a good chance tomorrow. I have to go out and play like I did on Thursday and Friday and if I do that I should have a good chance tomorrow.

It was just a shame because every time I was getting it going today, something was stopping me. I was trying hard and I felt like I hit some good putts out there on the back nine. I played pretty solid, and unfortunately it wasn't happening.

The Fall Finish, it is important to all of us, there's no doubt about it. There's some really good events in the fall. I try to give it the best shot I can.

I'm excited about this. We have some good ideas.

I didn't drive the ball as well as yesterday, ... I started a bit shaky with my driver, but three under is pretty good today because it was definitely playing harder. The greens were a lot firmer and there was quite a bit of wind.

Good wine is okay but if you keep drinking the wine the bottle will empty.

I feel like my game is good enough to do that. It's a case of getting everything going the right way.

I feel if things go my way and I putt half-decent, I really feel I should win at least five or six weeks a year. I don't see myself any different from Ernie (Els) or Vijay (Singh), Tiger (Woods) or Retief (Goosen). I feel my game is good enough to do that.

These greens have gone to my head. They are not in bad shape, they are good greens. But they are very new and with the rain they had recently it is very difficult to read them. In two or three years they will be great. But believe it or not, I think I still have a chance.

You've got to realize that a lot of these majors, I'm contending without really putting well, ... and that's a tough thing to do. I've just got to get the potato going a little bit, get the putter going a little bit and hole some putts here and there, and if things start going my way, I'm sure I'll have a good chance.

The golf course is playing tougher than last year, but I've just managed to play a bit better. I hit the ball nicely today and hit a lot of good putts. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to make many, but I felt I hit a lot of good ones which didn't go in.

The course is playing tougher and I've just managed to play a bit better, ... I felt so good out there.
