For Sergio Garcia, a win is a win, no matter if it’s on the PGA Tour
For Sergio Garcia, a win feels the same no matter where it is or who it’s against.
After getting into contention to win The Honda Classic, Garcia dismissed the notion that a win on the PGA Tour — where he hasn’t won since the 2012 Wyndham Championship — counts any more than a win on the European or Asian tours.
“There’s something that I don’t like, and when I hear guys say, ‘Oh, yeah, you won in Vietnam, or you won in Qatar (in 2014), but you haven’t won on the PGA Tour,’” Garcia said. “It feels like, you know, those wins don’t mean anything and it’s such a wrong comment.”
Garcia won the Asian Tour’s Ho Tram Open in Vietnam in December. He regards that the same as any of his other 27 worldwide wins.
“Every win, every victory is difficult. It doesn’t matter, even if it’s against your father in your home course. Every single victory is tough,” he added. “The victory in Vietnam wasn’t easy. I had to play well to get that. And the victory in Qatar, same thing.”
Garcia, who shares the 54-hole lead with Adam Scott, is seeking a ninth PGA Tour win on Sunday at PGA National.
