AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Anyone placing early bets for the U.S. Open in June would be wise not to pick Sergio Garcia. He doesn't think he can win there, or at any other major.
"I'm not good enough," the 32-year-old from Spain told the Spanish media Saturday, discouraged after he tumbled from contention yet again. "In 13 years, I've come to the conclusion that I need to play for second or third place."
He didn't back off those comments following his 1-under-par 71 Sunday and finishing the Masters 2 under. Garcia, winless in majors, was asked if he really had meant those words. He said, "Do you think I lie when I talk? Everything I say, I say it because I feel it. If I didn't mean it, I couldn't stand here and lie like a lot of the guys do. If I felt like I could win, I would do it. Unfortunately at the moment, unless I get really lucky in one of the weeks . . . I can't really play much better than I played this week and I'm going to finish 13th or 15th."
Garcia finished tied for 12th place.
Woods can't trust swing
Woods' score of 293 was his worst four-round score since he posted the same number as a first-time amateur in 1995.
