Huggan: Americans Must Apologize To Sergio!

John Huggan rides in on his high horse to tell Americans (even though it was an Irish website raising the legitimate question) that we owe Sergio Garcia a "full apology" for having thought that the indefatigable Spaniard might have committed a violation when giving his putting line a wee tap. A wee tap not much different-looking than the one placing Simon Dyson on lifetime double secret probation.

Mind you, this is the same Sergio who spat into a cup and refused to apologize.

Who chipped a putt over a spike mark last year and fixed a ballmark in his line last year without asking anyone to look at it.

Who flings clubs with reckless abandon.

Who throws bunker tantrums.

Who made a racist reference to Tiger Woods (and for which Huggan somehow turned the incident around to condemn folks for rushing to judge Garcia!)

And the same Sergio Garcia who, in general, is like too many tour professionals through the decades with a mysterious love of fixing old ballmarks in their line without ever running it by anyone.

Oy. Vey.

Alistair Tait files a non-anti-America tinged report explaining how Garcia was brought in today and made his explanation to rules official John Paramor, who accepted the explanation, and now life will go on. But on behalf of "Outraged of Oklahoma City," "Indignant of Indianapolis," and "Suspicious of San Francisco," I can safely say Sergio isn't going to get an apology on this one:
