Golf round-up: Sergio Garcia to snub Wentworth, Ian Woosnam pondering Masters future



EUROPEAN Tour chiefs would dearly love for Wentworth to stage a rematch of the Masters play-off between Sergio Garcia and Justin Rose but are resigned to missing out on the Spaniard for the BMW PGA Championship.

While Rose will be in the field, Garcia is understood to be unwilling to accommodate the event in his schedule next month.
Garcia’s first event as a Major champion will be the Players’ Championship at Sawgrass followed by the Byron Nelson tournament in Texas.

Ian Woosnam is thinking of extending his Masters career by another year.
Woosnam, who will be 60 by the time Augusta next comes around, was talked out of hanging his clubs up last year by his wife and was encouraged by an improvement of nine shots at this year’s tournament.
“I haven’t ruled it out. Maybe I’ll just come back and see the azaleas for next year,” said Woosnam.
“I quite enjoyed it. I just can’t really putt around Augusta. That is the problem. If I putted only half-decent, I’d make the cut every single time.”Charley Hull will be hitting the fairways at Kingsbarns today in early preparation for the Ricoh Women’s British Open which will be staged at the Scottish links in August.
