Sergio Garcia says he would like to see more
"short" courses like El Saler on the European Tour schedule.
Garcia who only managed a level-par
72 in Thursday's opening round was four shots off the lead shared by Felipe
Aguilar of Chile, France's Gary Stal and Denmark's Morten Orum Madsen."El Saler is a very good layout, maybe a bit short for the modern game, but if the wind blows and the greens are firm it becomes quite unforgiving," Garcia said. "Courses that are not that long can be a great challenge.
"Unfortunately we seem to be getting more and more long courses that allow you to miss everywhere, but 500-yard par fours are not the solution.
"Sometimes it's good to turn to courses like Valderrama or Sawgrass or this one that don't rely only on distance to be great courses."
