AUGUSTA, Ga. -- While Sergio Garcia stalked a lengthy birdie putt on the 14th green Friday afternoon, a group of his relatives and friends stood about 50 yards away, gathered underneath a hand-operated scoreboard that showed him at even-par for the Masters Tournament.
"Are you sure that's right?" his fiancée, Angela Akins, called up to the scoreboard operator. "Are you sure he isn't 2 under?"
He assured her that, yes, the green "0" signifying even par was indeed correct.
Less than a minute later, he changed it to a red "2."
The confusion had started four holes earlier, when Garcia hooked his tee shot on the par-4 10th hole.
