Sergio Still Lukewarm About Augusta

Sam Weinman on first round Masters co-leader Sergio Garcia, who has had mixed feelings about Augusta and did little to dispel those feelings after his opening 66.

"Well, obviously it's not my most favorite place, but you know, we try to enjoy it as much as we can each time we come here," he said. "Sometimes it comes out better than others."

Garcia's earlier remarks haven't been as diplomatic. Although he received attention at last year's Masters for saying that he needed to "play for second place," it was in 2009 when he was most explicit in his distaste for Augusta National.

"I don't like it. I don't think it's fair," he said following the final round that year. "It's too tricky ... you get mud balls in the middle of the fairways." Asked how he'd change it, Garcia replied, "I don't care, they can do whatever they want. It's not my problem. I just come here and play then go home."
