Sergio Garcia Meltdown at Masters

The Spaniard’s frustration boiled over on the second hole, forcing him to play the remainder of the round without his driver.

Augusta National officials, including competition committee chairman Geoff Yang, met with Garcia to deliver the rare formal warning.

Garcia admitted he was 'not super proud' of his behavior but declined to discuss the specifics of his conversation with tournament leadership.

The incident added a dramatic footnote to a difficult weekend for the 2017 champion, who finished well out of contention.
