Heard he had the shanks at the range.

Garcia making a charge. Should be some good golf down the stretch.

I wonder if he didn't take two shots to get it out of the bunker on 15 if that would've been enough to put pressure on Rory on 18. If Garcia pars instead of bogies 15, Rory has a one-stroke lead on 18, and after he hit it into the bunker on his 2nd shot, it might've maybe been enough to rattle Rory.

This might help explain why he came up short again:

"I'm not good enough ... I don't have the thing I need to have," Garcia said in Spanish. His comments were translated for the Augusta Chronicle. "In 13 years I've come to the conclusion that I need to play for second or third place."

Garcia was asked if he meant in the Masters, and replied: "In any major."

Sergio to a tee, pardon the pun. Doesn't seem to believe in himself. I still think he has the game to win one of these sooner rather than later.

[stlouie_lipp]

That's the thing about him, though. He certainly has the talent to win a major. He plays great with no pressure. Take a look at him one Sunday when he is out of contention, he's a good bet to shoot a 65 or something low.

The PGA Tour has suspended Dustin Johnson for six months after he tested positive for cocaine, according to a report on Golf.com.

Citing a source, Golf.com reported that Johnson has failed three drug tests -- two for cocaine (in 2014 and 2012) and one for marijuana (2009).

Johnson, 30, was suspended for the 2012 failed test, Golf.com reported, but that suspension was never made public. Under its guidelines, the PGA Tour is not required to announce any disciplinary actions against players who test positive for recreational drugs.
