AUGUSTA, Ga. — For nearly 20 years, Augusta National Golf Club has been Sergio García’s personal torture chamber. As has been his wont, García has persistently lamented his fate on the grounds, as if he were cursed.
But on Friday at the Masters, it finally seemed as if García had a point.
Tied for the tournament lead midway through his second round, García stumbled to a dispiriting bogey on the 10th hole. Then, in what turned out to be a scoring error, García’s score for the hole was instead listed as a 7 — a triple bogey.
