Perhaps we can just let this particular line of chat die off....before we need to start getting "moddy" with people.

Yea I suppose you're right, if there was no heckling then there would be no bad behaviour, so they fans are to blame for sergios tantrums using that logic.

I never said that.

All I'm saying is two wrongs don't make a right. If my son goes to watch golf , I'd find club throwing a bad example, when the golfer then steps on the next tee to take his shot. If a few people start heckling the player , I'd also see that as a bad example.

I don't get it, wonderful shot from a tree and then a complete high handicapper shot from the centre of the fairway i.e. a duff?

He has withdrawn! What's that about?

Play has been suspended.

Edit: Sorry, my mistake. Seems he has done a Rory.

Keano

I know that but he has withdrawn, will not be going back out when play resumes

Before he withdrew.

He's won two majors and become world no. 1? :P

Interesting that he withdrew. Anyone know why.

I think that jump down was a bit foolhardy - I could do that in my 20s, but in my 30s I would think I could do that , then my knee would be sore.

spacecoyote

official line is that he injured his back playing that shot out of the try as far as I know?

A bit daft if injured.

He does add to the entertainment value although not always in a good way with his frequent tantrums. In addition to the above tree shot from Sun he also attempted to hit a submerged ball from a lake on Sat (can't find a clip of it online). The ball was totally submerged by a good few inches and although the ball did exit through the surface it didn't clear the hazard and he ended up having to take a drop anyway.

At least he did what any self respecting man would do in the same situation!

1. Ok, you just did something daft but looked cool
2. You feel a massive pain as a result
3. Act as if absolutely nothing is wrong... maybe even give a smile to suggest "That was easy"
4. Then, when people aren't looking.... start crying like a baby

He only withdrew after play was stopped, so he obviously didnt want to hang around for another day just to play six holes in a tournament he has no chance of getting a decent finish in. If play hadnt been postponed, he would have finished the round in my opinion, wouldnt pay much attention to this talk of being injured

Was a very big jump down.

It was quite a jump...perhaps he loosened a tooth?

Stupidity, I was watching the live feed on the pgatour website and couldn't believe the haste with with he jumped out of the tree after his shot.

In fairness, he eased himself down as much as he could before he leaped and what else was he going to do? He needed to get down and there was only one way.

Well, he could have tried to climb down or waited for someone to get him a ladder but then he would have had to hand back his man card. :eek:

Better hop down quickly and even if there's a bit of pain (and there usually is in the feet), act like you do this all the time and everything's fine. :cool:

slave1

He could have called the cart back over (that he needed to get up there) and alighted on it and then onto the ground, I just think he missed thinking about perspective and damage he could do to himself.
Anyhow, no sympathy here, he's a big boy!!

The Guardian

surely garcia was penalised for slow play on this shot?
cant have been too many trees around his house growing up
my granny woulda made a better job of getting up and down outa there

slave1

After choking towards the end of his final round on the AsianTour he just snaked a monster putt on the first playoff hole, 2 guys eliminated and just him and one other lad left

dball

at last.........

Anyone remember the time he bate the bejaysus out of the bunker? Or the time he spat in the cup? Or the time he took to twitter to pay homage to fast food workers?

He's a gas card alright. Can't stand the sight of him. But a bit of me says about time, he deserves one. Just a little bit of me now.:-)

Agree,

There seems to be a bit of collective amnenia when it comes to our mate Sergio.
