PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — Being in contention at The Players Championship was nothing new for Sergio Garcia.
Neither was the heckling.
But it sure seemed louder and more obnoxious than normal for the Spaniard during the three-man, three-hole playoff Sunday.
Garcia was harassed on several shots, most notably when a small group of spectators yelled "U-S-A!" during his putting stroke at the famed 17th green. Garcia didn't really come close on the 40-footer and later failed to advance to the sudden-death portion of the playoff.
Rickie Fowler and Kevin Kisner did, and Fowler followed with his fifth birdie of the week at the island hole and notched his second PGA Tour victory.
