GARCIA: Speaks out about recent Cataluyna crisis

ONE of Spain’s greatest golfers has called for peace amidst rising tensions in Catalunya.

Speaking from his home in Florida, Sergio Garcia pleaded for people to come together following a recent rally in Barcelona that saw 750,000 protesters take to the streets demanding the release of the separatist leaders.

“As a Spaniard, I think that there’s so many bad things happening in the world, it feels wrong to separate each other,” said Garcia.

“It is a touchy subject. I’m not a politician and I’m not going to start being one but I think everybody getting closer to one another will make this world a better place.”

The 37-year-old recently celebrated his 32nd victory, as host, for the Andalucia Valderrama Masters.
