Spanish footballers Aritz Aduriz, Pablo Hernández and Juan Mata received some golfing wisdom from Sergio Garcia when they teed up alongside the eight time European Tour champion in the Pro-Am at the OKI Castellón Senior Tour Championship.
The Valencia players celebrated their 3-0 victory over Rangers in the Champions League by tackling Garcia’s home course, Club de Campo del Mediterráneo, which is hosting the European Senior Tour finale this week.
Garcia’s made his return to competitive golf at the host venue last month in the CASTELLÓ Masters Costa Azahar and his father Victor is part of the field this week.
While The Ryder Cup player gave the Valencia players some golfing tips, he is no stranger to making the switch of sports himself, having played for Spanish third division side Borriol – the club he is President of – earlier this season.
Garcia, who was one of Colin Montgomerie’s Vice Captains at last month’s Ryder Cup, will be a keen observer again this week during the OKI Castellón Senior Tour Championship as Boonchu Ruangkit attempts to seal the Senior Tour Order of Merit.
