Sergio Garcia has showcased a decent performance at the 2025 Open de España so far. On Thursday, the Spaniard carded a first-round score of even par 71. Garcia secured two birdies and an eagle during the first round of this DP World Tour event. However, his scorecard remained compromised with four bogeys over the first 18 holes of play.

During the second day Sergio Garcia started the round with a bogey on hole 3, followed by an eagle on hole 4. He scored two more birdies over the remaining holes of the front nine. Over the back nine, Garcia carded another birdie. Despite his efforts, the golfer ended round 2 with 1 under par 70 following a bogey and a double bogey over the back nine.

Sergio Garcia makes a bold claim about his form at the 2025 Open de España

On Friday, Garcia secured the ticket to the weekend with his 70 (-2). Still, the professional golfer did not seem satisfied with his game. During the post-round media interactions, the Castellón native admitted that he lacked confidence.

In his statement, Sergio Garcia also claimed that his shots in the Open de España did not feel like they came from a professional. The golfer said (as quoted by El Español):

"I haven't played well. I've hit some really bad shots. They don't feel like professional shots. That's how it is. You have to keep working." "I'm downcast because I'm training, playing fantastically, hitting the ball really well, with a lot of confidence, and then I get to the tournament and there are several moments where I don't know what I'm doing. That doesn't satisfy me."

It's worth noting that Garcia has been a past winner of the Spanish Open. Back in 2002, the golfer secured a four-stroke victory over Emanuele Canonica.
