Garcia interviews from hospital

MASTERS champion Sergio Garcia held the most unusual press conference of his career yesterday as his wife Angela prepared to give birth to the couple’s first child.

Garcia was due to speak to reporters about his title defence at 8.0am local time in Austin, Texas and kept his word despite having to take part in the teleconference from a hospital room.

“It’s been an eventful morning,” Garcia, 38, said. “About an hour and a half ago Angela’s waters broke so we’re at the hospital right now, kind of checking in. It’s very exciting and nerve-racking at the same time. It’s kind of surreal. I’m excited and a little nervous for Angela and the baby to make sure everything goes well. It was supposed to be on Sunday but it looks like she is coming a little early.”
