VIRGINIA WATER, England: Sergio Garcia spoke of his unending gratitude to the Wentworth galleries after soaring into title contention at the PGA Championship with a sizzling four-under-par 68 in yesterday’s third round.
The 33-year-old Spaniard was embroiled in a racism row with Tiger Woods earlier this week and had to issue an unreserved apology after making a “fried chicken” jibe at the world number one.
“It’s getting better every day, there’s no doubt everybody has made it so much easier for me,” he told reporters after finishing with a five-under total of 211.
“The crowds here, I don’t have words to explain what I feel towards them. They have been amazing, every single tee, every single green, cheering me on, and I can never pay them back.”
