  • Sergio Garcia dramatically shattered his driver in a fit of frustration on the second hole during his final round at the Masters.
  • The 2017 Masters champion, already out of contention, lost his composure after hitting his opening shot into a bunker, leading him to break his club.
  • The outburst was reminiscent of Garcia's 2019 disqualification from the Saudi International for damaging greens, though he later regained control.
  • In a moment of levity, Garcia was seen carrying fellow countryman Jon Rahm's golf bag while Rahm's caddie was attending to a bunker.
  • Despite the earlier drama, Garcia managed to make par on the second hole, as the tournament headed towards a thrilling finish with players like Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler in contention for victory.
