adminWoods won the event on Sunday for the second time in his career, stretching his lead atop the world rankings and moving within four of matching Sam Snead’s career record of 82 US PGA Tour titles.
The Florida Times-Union, a newspaper in Jacksonville, Florida, quoted two tournament marshals who disputed a Sports Illustrated account earlier this week that suggested Woods lied about the third-round incident that miffed Garcia.
“It is not true and definitely unfair to Tiger,” Brian Nedrich, who was a marshal at the second hole at TPC Sawgrass during the third round of the tournament on Saturday, told the newspaper.Garcia said Woods pulled a club from his bag as the Spaniard was hitting his second shot at the hole, sparking a crowd reaction that distracted him during his swing.
Woods, who was off the fairway and couldn’t see Garcia, said a marshal had told him the Spaniard had already hit.— AFP.
