“.....Sergio Garcia claimed he had been the “victim” in his flap with Woods over the weekend.....”
**********************************************************************
Oh puhleeeze....everybody wants to be a “victim”. Garcia lost and makes excuses...hell, maybe next time he’ll hear a frog croak.
Sometimes you just lose. Sometimes you just don’t make the shot you wanted to make.
While I cannot remember where I read it-as I am not a sports enthusiast-I did read that Garcia did NOT blame it on Woods-he was very gentlemanly about the whole thing and pretty much summed it up as ‘these things happen’...
I read the crowd gasped when there was movement etc during Garcia’s swing as they were so shocked at the breach in golf protocol (which I know zip about)- but I definitely read otherwise-and Wood’s immediately blamed it on the marshall- this article was written before Woods winning—so just fyi- I read a much different version after it immediately happened.
People wanted Garcia to be pissed, but he shrugged it off and accepted it and the controversial ruling that had also been made in Woods favor -may have been in the Mail Online (UK) or Yahoo-
Just interesting that it is being spun a bit differently now...
Two situations:
1. Tiger apparently lied - he shouldn’t have.
2. Sergio certainly whined - he shouldn’t have.
Apparently, there was a “mild roar” when Woods pulled out the 5-wood to go for the green - a tough shot from where he was. “Mild roars” are heard quite frequently at a golf tournament. Sergio should have just ignored it.
