After the ball hunt time passed, Sergio Garcia said “I can’t wait to leave this round”

Potomac, Maryland – Sergio Garcia appeared to let his anger over a ruling passed during the opening round of Wells Fargo become the most divisive issue in the game.

After dragging his tee into the danger zone at the 10th hole of the TPC Potomac, the Spaniard was able to find his golf ball after a long search. However, he was informed by the PGA Tour Rules Administrator that he had exceeded the time limit allowed under the golf rules. According to Rule 18.2, players have three minutes to hunt for golf balls, but Garcia was told he exceeded that limit by one and a half minutes.

“This is divorced bulls – t,” he told the official.

Garcia has been linked to the Saudi-backed Premier League and according to various reports is among at least ten players who requested conflicting versions of the tour to play the first LIV Golf invite event in June.
