Shiels urges Masters mercy for Garcia after Augusta outburst
Sergio Garcia's temper flare at Augusta—smashing his driver and a water cooler on the second hole—drew calls for a Masters ban, but Rick Shiels argued Garcia shouldn’t be banned, noting his generally pleasant demeanor and urging a reprimand instead. Garcia apologized after the incident, yet finished eight over and 52nd of 54, while MacIntyre was reprimanded earlier in the week for a separate incident.
