2017 champion tears up tee box after poor shot
44-year-old is known for his fiery temper
Sergio García’s return to the scene of his greatest triumph has not been a happy one this weekend. The 2017 Masters champion made the cut at Augusta but on Sunday vented his frustration after a poor opening shot on the second hole by slamming his club into the ground before snapping off its head when he smashed it into a nearby cooler.
Masters officials are known for strictly enforcing rules and García was given a code of conduct warning for his outburst. A second code of conduct breach would result in a two-shot penalty and a third would lead to disqualification.
