The Golf Blog: Sergio Garcia, Tiger Woods get into cat fight over crowd noise
The Golf Blog says: During the rain delay at the Players Championship during the third round and following the rain suspended round, Sergio Garcia and Tiger Woods got into a minor cat fight about crowd noise around Tiger Woods while Sergio Garcia was hitting his second shot on the second hole.
Sergio Garcia: “Well, obviously, Tiger was on the left, and it was my shot to hit. He moved all the crowd that he needed to move. I waited for that. I wouldn’t say that he didn’t see that I was ready, but you do have a feel when the other guy is going to hit, and right as I was in the top of my backswing, I think he must have pulled like a 5-wood or a 3-wood and obviously everybody started screaming. So that didn’t help very much. But it was unfortunate because — I mean I might have hit it in there if nothing happens. You never know. But if I hit a good shot there and maybe make a birdie, it gets my day started in a bit of a different way.”
Tiger Woods: “Obviously, he doesn’t know all the facts. The marshals told me he had already hit. I pulled the club and played my shot. Then I hear his comments afterward. Not really surprising that he’s complaining about something.”
Garcia replied: “That’s fine. At least I’m true to myself. I know what I’m doing, and he can do whatever he wants.”
