Sergio Garcia: 'My best 10 holes at the Masters'

Sergio Garcia has said that the first 10 holes of his opening round at the Masters were "the best" that he has ever played at Augusta.

The 33-year-old Spaniard shot four birdies on the front nine, before adding another at the 10th to go five-under par.

He went on to grab a share of the lead by picking up another shot at 15, before going completing a bogey-free round of 66.

"What I'm going to try to take to my pillow tonight is the first 10 holes," Garcia told reporters.

"Without a doubt, it's the best 10 holes I've ever played at The Masters."

"I felt so good. I hit so many good shots. It felt like I was 10 or 15 feet away all the time, and that's hard to do on this golf course."

Garcia, who is still waiting to win a Major, shares the six-under lead with Australia's Marc Leishman.
