"Really good. It's grown so much, of course, I'd seen it on TV I haven't been here, but I've seen it on TV a few times. It's really amazing to see all the fans, all the people that come, the kids to support us, to enjoy themselves, we have to try and entertain them as much as possible..."

In his statement, Sergio Garcia also claimed that his shots in the Open de España did not feel like they came from a professional. The golfer said (via El Español):

"I haven't played well. I've hit some really bad shots. They don't feel like professional shots. That's how it is. You have to keep working."
"I'm downcast because I'm training, playing fantastically, hitting the ball really well, with a lot of confidence, and then I get to the tournament and there are several moments where I don't know what I'm doing. That doesn't satisfy me," he added.

It's worth noting that Garcia has been a past winner of the Spanish Open. Back in 2002, the golfer secured a four-stroke victory over Emanuele Canonica.
