Garcia starts title defence well at Sawgrass

Defending champion Sergio Garcia made a strong start as The Players Championship got under way at TPC Sawgrass today.

The Spaniard landed the biggest victory of his career at the Players Stadium Course 12 months ago as he made up three strokes on leader American Paul Goydos in the final round and then beat him in a sudden-death play-off at the famous 17th 'Island Hole'.
