Sergio Garcia has shrugged off his tight hamstring and will play in the Johnnie Walker Classic.

The world number six had been a doubt to play when his hamstring tightened up after he took part in an Australian Rules football charity event.

The 23-year-old Spaniard pulled out of the Pro-Am at Lake Karrinyup on Wednesday.

However, it was no longer troubling him on Thursday and he is one of the later starters, playing with Australian Robert Allenby and Thomas Bjorn of Denmark.
