Re-energised Garcia chasing world number one spot

CASTELLON, Spain, (Reuters) – Sergio Garcia,  refreshed and bursting with energy after a self-imposed absence  of more than two months, is targeting golf’s world number one  ranking.

“I made the decision to stop as I had lost my motivation and  felt drained,” the 30-year-old Spaniard told Reuters in an  interview yesterday ahead of this week’s Castello Masters.

“Now I feel full of energy and actually enjoy practising. I  have set myself new goals and look forward to performing again  at the top level,” added Garcia.

“I am playing this week to win the Castello again … then I  want to return gradually to where I should be and perform to my  full potential and that is world number one.”
Garcia showed how reinvigorated he was when he featured on  the wing for his local soccer team against a players and caddies  side at the Club de Campo complex yesterday.

Among the opposition was former Italy winger and coach  Roberto Donadoni along with Spanish golfers Pablo Larrazabal,  Alejandro Canizares, Carlos Rodiles and Rafael Cabrera-Bello.
