AUGUSTA, Ga. — How’s that for a headline. And it’s all true.
Paired with fellow countryman Jon Rahm on Sunday at the Masters, Garcia — the 2017 champion — pushed his tee shot at No. 2 off to the right. What followed will probably get him a talking to from Augusta National’s green jackets.
In the course of just a few seconds, Garcia slammed his club into the tee box, then took a whack at a cooler that snapped off the head of his driver. Then, for some reason, he picked up Rahm’s bag and carried it down the second fairway.

As mentioned, the green jackets at Augusta National don’t take kindly to such actions. During Round 1, Robert MacIntyre flipped the bird after hitting a ball in the water at 15. That reportedly earned him a talking to after his round.
Bob NOT happy on 15. Couple this with the outburst on 12 tee. We just can’t have it! pic.twitter.com/YUwpCENQLb

Garcia, who was +6 for the tournament at the time, will almost assuredly hear from Augusta officials after his round.
