KOHLER, Wisconsin (Reuters) - Sergio Garcia may not be able to pin down the precise reason for his Ryder Cup success but the Spaniard said on Tuesday he knows the exact moment he realised he wanted to represent Europe in the biennial team competition against the United States.

The 41-year-old Garcia said he was watching a Ryder Cup practice round in 1995 at Oak Hill in Rochester, New York, when compatriot Seve Ballesteros offered him a feel for one of the most compelling events on the golfing calendar.
