Video: Sergio's Bizarro Putt Concession
/I'm guessing we'll hear more about this after the match, but for now we just know this: Sergio Garcia conceded Rickie Fowler a very long putt to halve the hole. That's our Sergio!
From PGA Tour Entertainment:
**Sergio said this is a gentleman's game, lamented that "lately it hasn't felt like it's been like that" and in tribute to his dad decided to concede after taking too long on the previous hole to take a drop from bees. Sergio. You know, that Sergio. Mr. Sportsmanship!
Anyway, Mark Lamport-Stokes with the strange goings on in Tucson acted out in the video above:
Fowler said that Garcia had explained the reason for his surprise concession as they made their way to the eighth tee.
"He felt like he had a little bit of a load on his chest after taking a little time with the drop on (hole) six," said Fowler. "I really didn't have a problem with it.
"He just said, 'I felt like I took too much time.' I was like, 'Sure, whatever.'
