Sergio Garcia says he missed out on qualifying for The Open Championship after feeling nauseous during the final stages of the event. According to multiple reports, Garcia blamed lasagna for his condition, saying he began to feel sick and believed he might vomit. The comments come as Garcia had been targeting a return to The Open, where he previously finished as runner-up twice. The reports describe the nausea as a factor that affected his performance during final qualifying, though they do not provide specific medical details beyond his account of how he felt. While the outlets characterize his explanation with similar wording—nausea and an urgent physical discomfort—none dispute that he wanted to qualify and did not succeed. Overall, the coverage centers on Garcia’s post-qualifying explanation, linking his shortfall to an episode of illness he attributes to what he ate shortly before or during the competition.
