LOS ANGELES (AP) — Ser-
gio Garcia apologized in
a statement and in person
to the players in his group
when he damaged five
greens at the Saudi Inter-
national. He apologized in
a social media post and in
an interview at his locker
Wednesday at Riviera.
That has been the easy
part. He has had plenty of
experience over the years.
Garcia said the challenge
now is to make sure it does
not happen again, know-
ing that the scrutiny of his
behavior will be greater
than ever.
