The latest professional who has also shown his preference towards Luke Donald is the Spaniard Sergio Garcia. He said, “He has good experience playing and being a vice-captain. I’m sure that he’s a great candidate for it, and he can do a great job if he gets the nod for it. I’m so excited to see what’s going to happen there.“I mean, he might seem like a little shy, a little kind of closed, but he’s a wonderful man.”
He added, “He’s quite funny. He’s got a good sense of humor and a big heart, so those are important things to have as not only as a captain but as a person.”
