AUSTIN, Texas – Sergio Garcia showed some Texas fight Thursday at Austin Country Club.
Three down with five holes to play to Collin Morikawa, Garcia, an Austin resident and adopted Texas Longhorn, rallied to earn a tie with the world No. 2 and remain in the running to win his group at the WGC-Dell Match Play.
“If you would offer me a tie on the 14th tee, I would have definitely taken it and run to the clubhouse,” Garcia said.
Morikawa jumped on Garcia, 3 up, at the turn, and he nearly added on at the par-3 11th hole, but Garcia drained a 12-footer for par to match and stay within three.
