Sergio Garcia unhappy with Tiger Woods after early-round disruption Sergio Garcia and Tiger Woods played alongside each other during the third round at The Players Championship, but didn't necessarily have the best time on course. RELATIONS between Tiger Woods and Sergio Garcia appeared to sour during the third round of the Players Championship on Saturday. Garcia lit a fuse after he accused Woods of inadvertent disrespect. The pair, who have never had a very cordial relationship, played out their own mini-storm early in the round. Garcia started with a one-shot lead over Woods in the final group but it was erased quickly in controversial circumstances. With Woods in the trees on the second hole and Garcia ready to play from the fairway, it appeared the Spaniard had the advantage. But just as he began his downswing, Woods, well away from Garcia and out of view, pulled a fairway wood from his bag, causing the crowd to erupt in delight at the prospect of the 14-time major champion trying something heroic. Garcia flinched on his swing and blocked the ball way right into trouble.

Afterwards Garcia seemingly partly blamed Woods, no doubt amping up the frostiness between the pair. "Obviously Tiger was on the left and it was my shot to hit," Garcia said after his round. I mean I wouldn't say he didn't see that I was ready, but you do have a feel when the other guy is going to hit and right as I was in the top of the backswing, I think he must have pulled like a five-wood or a three-wood out of the rough and obviously everybody started screaming, so that didn't help very much. You know it was unfortunate. I might have hit it there if nothing happens, you never know, but if I hit a good shot there and make birdie, it gets my day started in a bit of a different way. There's really not much you can do. I think that I try to respect everyone as much as possible out there. I try to be careful what I do to make sure it doesn't bother the other players. The crowd got excited when Tiger Woods reached for a club on the second hole. he plays from the rough here. For his part Woods said marshals had cleared him to get ready to hit and confirmed the pair did not talk much before, or after the incident. "The marshals, they told me he already hit, so I pulled a club and was getting ready to play my shot, and then I hear his comments afterwards and not real surprising that he's complaining about something," Woods said.
