Garrido pleased with rebound from illness

Two years ago, Ignacio Garrido feared his career might be over, so it is hardly surprising that he wore an almost permanent grin throughout the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth.

The Spaniard won the European Tour's flagship event in 2003 but 10 years later was told he had glandular fever.

Garrido spent a long time bedridden and unable to walk, but he has slowly worked his way back toward full fitness and last week's Spanish Open at El Prat represented his competitive return after 18 months out.
