Sergio Garcia, once heralded as a rising star destined to win multiple major championships, said Saturday that he now doesn't think he has the game to win even one.
Garcia was in contention at the Masters on Saturday but shot 75. Although he joked around with fellow competitor Rory McIlroy -- who shot 77 -- and was generally fine with English-speaking media, the Spaniard told a different story to Spanish-speaking media.
"I'm not good enough ... I don't have the thing I need to have," Garcia said in Spanish. His comments were translated for the Augusta Chronicle. "In 13 years I've come to the conclusion that I need to play for second or third place."
Garcia was asked if he meant in the Masters, and replied: "In any major."
After shooting 71 on Sunday to finish in a tie for 12th place, Garcia was asked about the Saturday comments.
"Do you think I lie when I talk?" he said.
A reporter asked if it was more emotion talking.
