Garcia: I learned a lot from my Carnoustie experience

SERGIO GARCIA made some unpopular, even regrettable, comments after his failure to win the Open at Carnoustie last month.

The newspapers gave him a hard time and Peter Oosterhuis on the Golf Channel advised him that “it was time to grow up”.

So when the 27-year-old Spaniard made his way to the media centre yesterday, many wondered if he would compound his problems with a few more moans and excuses or whether he would conduct the session in a sensible and pragmatic manner.
