Q. Are you currently self-critical? Q. What can you do for Borriol, the 3rd analysis football team? S.G. Yes, for any although yes. I believed I’d take a continued break, six weeks or possibly a year, but there had been still a lot of things I needed to do and I couldn’t just leave it like that. I have always been competitive, even if my mind wasn’t in a very good place. I went out to give it 100%, but I couldn’t keep it going. When things started to go a little wrong, I cracked and I lost the will to fight. S.G. I got fed up with golf, there’s no doubt about that. They are tough times and anyone who says they’ve never gone through them is lying. There are always tough times when you think: "If only I did one thing differently." The most important thing would be to surround yourself with positive people. For those who are alone, it is a whole lot more complicated to get through those hard times. S.G. I like him mainly because he understands what he wants. Occasionally he makes mistakes with his statements but he often says what other people today would never dare to say. Which says a lot about his personality. It doesn't necessarily mean it is the complete truth but also it may not be politically correct, but he's clear about what he wants. Q. What have you learned? Q. Does it bother you that they still call you El Niño? Q. How can you end up being disillusioned? Sergio Garcia dedicates his victory back to Seve Ballesteros. Photo Eoin Clarke/www.golffile.ie Q. You haven’t won a major yet. Are you still aiming for that? Q. Has it been demanding enough? S.G. We are back again to the same thing. People today would say: "If you don't qualify for that Open, will you do everything within your power?" Well, yes, mainly because I like to compete but not mainly because it is becoming my 50th major. Records do not affect me. I’m not just a player who chases records. S.G. Yes, always. Q. What about Ballesteros, Olazábal and Jiménez. Do you ask them for advice? Q. What’s been missing? S.G. No. In the past accepting to the morning I need to enjoy myself. Everyone would like me to celebrate every single win but that wouldn’t be a great thing. As a player, maybe it could be all about it wouldn’t help me getting a person. You learn from your mistakes. Two or three times in my career things could have been different but a lot more for reasons of success than something else people today may say. All I can do is give my all and hope it is enough. Sergio Garcia holding the Castelló Masters trophy. Photo Eoin Clarke Garcia ended a three-year victory drought when he romped to an 11-shot victory in the Castelló Masters on Sunday. And right after dedicating his victory back to Seve Ballesteros, the 31-year-old Spaniard sat down with Juan Morenilla of El País to reflect on who he is, where he’s been and where he’s going. It is becoming interesting to hear what Rory McIlroy has to say if he reflects on the first twelve full years of his career in 2019. Q. A lot more than ten full years at the top, fifty majors in a row, 17 top 10’s in majors, you have been world No 2. Have these achievements been undervalued? S.G. A lot of things. My personality, the way I play the game, my desire. Which is all still there. Of course, I’m a lot more complete now. If I was 19 I thought that the game of golf was the only thing in my life. Q. Being a Real Madrid fan, what do you think of Mourinho? Q. Can you have any regrets? Q. Where can you live? S.G. It never bothered me. I was quite active when I started and I was the big new thing. It all came together. Now there are more Niños. I have always liked the nickname. I’m proud of it like I love my favorite golf clubs. S.G. Yes. We are generally striving for perfectionists but you need to live the moment. There are moments of great pressure. Q. You talk about luck. Is that not an excuse? Q. Have you even thought about seeking psychological help? S.G. Yes. If I started, definitely. I generally worked actively exactly with them, especially Chema. They helped me a great deal in the beginning, when I was a lot more of the young. Later, I had my personal experiences and everyone lives things in a very different way. Someone could tell me one thing that may help me but I have had to adapt it to my personal reality and my way of living. S.G. I do not care if people today think it is an excuse or not. I’m not saying that it is. I’m saying I do all I could. As I said, in that PGA I hit a good shot for the the 15th that hits the flag, goes in and out according to the hole and finishes two or three meters away and I miss the easy putt. That could have changed everything. They are curiosities. I have always thought in success and that things happen for any reason. Q. So how can you brainwash your mind? S.G. I’m Player-President. I have always liked football. About seven seasons ago a group of friends, my loved ones and myself decided to take our local team and give it a little a lot more superior with the PING G15 Driver, a little a lot more class, to make sure that people today could get enjoyment from it more. I look for sponsors and raise money so we are able to encourage players. S.G. As I said, that does not affect me from the slightest. I have come close to winning three. Unfortunately, it wasn’t meant for whatever reason. Which is life. There are people today who get a chance, almost everything performs out for them additionally they win. There there are people today who get 6 or 7 chances, like me, but regrettably you get against a Tiger or possibly a Harrington, or somebody does something that leaves you in second place or just for the edge. Ads by Google S.G. Yes, I have thought about everything. I had a (female) partner who was a relaxation therapist and that helped. But you need to think in these things and pretty frankly I have never been particularly of the believerS.G.: for those people who are feeling good, you tell yourself these things. I have never had that kind of psychological help. I have been in a position to win without it. I do not think it is for me although it helps other avid gamers a great deal. S.G. I talk to myself, in my head, in order to possible. I gee myself up and try to give myself confidence. Which is all a coach or possibly a therapist can tell you: believe truly in yourself. I tell myself a similar thing. If I’m not feeling good, it is harder. S.G. No. Almost everything takes place for any could cause and as well you need to learn from these things. I’m maturing. It is possibly used me longer than expected to mature, and never just for the the game of golf course. You start realizing things. It is a little complex mainly because I travel a great deal and although I have friends, I’m semi-alone. S.G. it really was a shame. I prefer to analyze why people today say but there had been 4 or 5 who were making debris and I lost my backbone and let them go and stick it… And which is not going to do me any good. I’d accept not to give quick people today the opportunity to piss me off. S.G. I cannot go to bed thinking: "And if I had done that…." from the 2007 Open, every single time I see that putt in my mind, I see it going in. I hit it exactly the way in which I wanted and for the distance I wanted. I can see it going in but regrettably it didn't want to drop. from the playoff things did not go my way. I hit 3 or 4 very good putts that did not want to go in. Then from the 2008 US PGA, in which Harrington as well beat me, for the 16th my approach went a little left and to the water. But I'd have to hit that shot how the 1 he hit [into the bunker left] afterwards which gave the chance to hole a very long putt. At times like which you do whatever you think is right. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn’t. Q. Do you think about giving up the game? Q. What’s left for the kid of 1999? Q. And do the people today close to you point out your mistakes? Sergio Garcia: I’m very proud of almost everything I have achieved, not just from the twelve full years I have been a professional but also as an amateur, which people today forget. I’m happy again. I have regained the desire to play the game with the R11 fairway wood. I want to get back again where I think I belong. It is just a little like, not being reborn, but coming back again to life. I have been through two complex full years off an away the course. They’ve been difficult but full years at a same time. They’ve helped me to realize a great deal about myself, not just in golf, but over a private level. Q. Why do you stop trying Twitter? Q: Your broke through in 1999. What can you see if you look back? S.G. The things I need to be annoyed including having close to the people today who actively go out of their way to support me. I’m a a lot more peaceful man or women now but I have always shown my heart on my sleeve. It is the way I am. I’m Spanish, I’m passionate as well it shows. I am feeling myself just a little better and I give the game of golf its proper importance, no more. S.G. If I can, I’m in Castellón a bit. I was born right here and I like it here. from the US I work and that is about it. If I have time, I spend time in my home in Switzerland in Crans-Montana. It is so relaxing. I love the tranquility, having walks. You do not see a soul. I also do cross-country skiing. My family are into snowboard but I give it the respect it deserves!
