Tiger Woods accused of lying by Players Championship marshal in his spat with Sergio Garcia García accused Woods of lacking respect and, in normal events, would have expected an apology from a fellow professional. But the enmity between the pair runs so deep there was no communication. On Sunday, after Woods had won his fourth title of 2013 - courtesy of the Spaniard hitting two balls into the water on the penultimate hole - García vented his frustration that he was being depicted as "the bad guy" in the dispute, having widely been labelled a "whinger" on the social networks. Paul Azinger, the 2008 Ryder Cup captain, was one of these, but on Tuesday he acknowledged that Woods was at fault; both at the time and in the bitter aftermath when said he was not surprised to hear García "moaning." "It did distract Sergio and his complaint was legitimate," Azinger said. "The media spat would have been avoided if Tiger said, "I feel kind of bad about it [distracting García]." But Tiger chose to take another route and turned it into a controversy. Tiger could have taken the high road but he chose to take a cheap shot at Sergio. Azinger also commented on Woods's penalty drop on the 14th during Sunday's final round. Woods hit his tee-shot into the water and television seemed to indicate that the ball crossed at an earlier point on the hazard than where Woods eventually dropped. Regardless of whether it was the incorrect spot or not, Woods did not break the rules as he consulted with his playing partner, Casey Wittenberg, who was adamant where the ball had crossed. The TV angles were not conclusive, although Johnny Miller, the NBC analyst, expressed his doubts after the network screened a slow-motion replay. Initially NBC's on-course analyst, Mark Rolfing, raised his own suspicions before saying he had "no problem" with the drop. Said Azinger: "I was surprised, it wasn't shown over and over on the television, particularly after the lead analyst queried it.... If Tiger had been paired with Sergio he would have said, "No way did it cross there."" This is Woods's third drop controversy of the season. He was penalised at both Abu Dhabi and at last month's Masters when TV evidence was used to decided he transgressed.
