SERGIO GARCIA’S wayward tee shot on the fifth at Hazeltine fell straight into the hole of a marshall’s pocket.
The Spaniard, playing with fellow compatriot Rafael Cabrera-Bello, was looking to cream a drive down the fairway but hooked it to the left where it bounced of a few tree branches and straight into a marshall’s pocket.
Fortunately for the European pair, they were allowed a free drop before Cabrera-Bello safely put their second shot on the green.
As Patrick Reed chipped in brilliantly for a birdie, Garcia responded in wonderful fashion by holing a lengthy putt for the half.
The Spanish duo, who won their fourball match on Friday afternoon, are up against it on Saturday morning and find themselves three down after six holes.
