Script:

SOUNDBITE: (English), Miguel Angel Jimenez:

"Yeah well, it is nice always defending a title, always very nice. That's the way it should be and it's nice to come here and play the defence of the Spanish Open. It's great and I will try to do my best and put my tooth and my nail there to try and defend in the right way."

SOUNDBITE: (English), Sergio Garcia:

"Yeah, 2002, it's been a while so it would be nice to get in the winning circle here at the Spanish Open again. Obviously Miguel won it last year which was great and it would be nice to get another Spanish winner and I will do my best to be one of them."
