AUGUSTA, Ga. - Sergio Garcia has played in 51 consecutive majors. He's 0-for-51 when it comes to winning and it sounds like he's convinced the streak will continue.
Garcia, one of the best players without a major on their resume, told reporters from his native Spain before Sunday's final round he doesn't have the game necessary to win.
"I'm not good enough... I don't have the thing I need to have," Garcia said through translation. "In 13 years, I've come to the conclusion that I need to play for second or third place."
Garcia finished runner-up in the 1999 PGA Championship, the 2007 British Open and the 2008 PGA Championship.
Garcia was in contention to win his first major this weekend before shooting a 75 on Saturday and 71 on Sunday to finish tied for 15th at 2 under par.
"I'm not good enough," Garcia said. "I had my chances and opportunities, and I wasted them. I have no more options. I wasted my options."
Garcia echoed his pre-round sentiments on Sunday afternoon.
"Do you think I lie when I talk?," Garcia said. "Everything I say, I say because I feel it. If I didn't mean it, I couldn't stand here and lie like a lot of the guys do.
"If I felt like I could win, I would do it."
UCLA sophomore earns low-am
U.S. Amateur runner-up Patrick Cantlay won low-amateur honors at 7-over 295 after filling in a colorful Sunday scorecard.
Cantlay shot an even-par 72 Sunday, but it was anything but a ho-hum round. He made two eagles, five birdies, six pars, three bogeys, one double-bogey and one quadruple bogey 9 at No. 13. From Nos. 11 through 17 he went, bogey, birdie, quad, double, eagle, birdie, birdie.
"I wouldn't have a sense of humor if I didn't play my last five at 5 under," said Cantlay, a sophomore at UCLA. "I learned a lot about the golf course, and the angles to play and places to hit it and not hit it. I think that's really going to benefit me when I come back in the future."
Asian amateur champion Hideki Matsuyama (9 over) and U.S. Amateur champion Kelly Kraft (18 over) also made the cut.
Stallings, Snedeker in top 30
Tennessee Tech graduate Scott Stallings shot a 1-over 73 on Sunday and finished his first Masters at 2 over and tied for 27th.
Former Vanderbilt star Brandt Snedeker shot 1-over on Sunday and tied for 19th at even for the tournament.
Woods finishes early
Pre-tournament favorite Tiger Woods never broke par in his four rounds at the Masters and finished in a tie for 41st at 5-over 293. He shot 74 on Sunday to conclude his worst Masters as a professional.
"I didn't hit the ball very good this week," Woods said. "Unfortunately, it was a bad week for me this week."
Watson's White-out
Masters champ Bubba Watson's score changed each day. But he wore the same attire for each round in order to raise awareness and money for charity.
Watson, with the help of golf-clothing line Travis Mathews, is raising money for Fresh Start, an organization that offers cosmetic reconstructive surgery to children with physical deformations.
The white outfits are available at www.TravisMathew.com for $200.
Couples complete
Fred Couples began Saturday afternoon in a tie for the lead. He finished Sunday evening tied for 13th 20 years after he won his only green jacket.
"So for me, it's a sad finish," Couples said. "I'd like to have another round. But I'll come back next year again."
