Tetchy Sergio Garcia dismisses question about Masters meltdown: ‘I’m not going to tell you’
Garcia smashed up his driver on the tee box of the second hole at Augusta on Sunday, and was given a code-of-conduct warning for his behaviour
A tetchy Sergio Garcia refused to answer a question about his angry Masters meltdown, tersely responding to a reporter’s query by saying, “I’m not going to tell you”. Garcia endured a complete loss of composure on the second tee during Sunday’s final round at Augusta when, having already bogeyed the opening hole, he slammed his club into the turf twice after hitting his ball into a bunker. He then struck a table holding a green cooler, causing the head of his driver to dangle precariously before he completely ripped it off the shaft.
