Garcia hoping to get back on track in Castellon

WE are about to find out what a two-month break from golf, interrupted only by a trip to the Ryder Cup to be part of Colin Montgomerie’s backroom team, has done for Sergio Garcia.

“I need to miss the game a little bit,” said the 30-year-old Spaniard inAugust before starting a lay-off that comes to an end this week on his home course in the Castello Masters.

“I’m very excited and I’m looking forward to coming back and hopefully doing something very, very good,” he then stated at Celtic Manor as Europe’s celebrations got under way.
