Sergio Garcia was in bad shape after his tee shot at the par-4 13th in Round 3 of the Northern Trust Open. The drive was so bad in landed in a bunker…on the 10th hole.
Garcia had two options: take out a wedge and lay up over trees with an outside chance of making par or go for the green through the tiniest of windows with a long iron and, well, have an outside chance of making par. The Spaniard opted for the latter, and it worked brilliantly.
In the end, Garcia was able to get up-and-down for a par on one of Riviera Country Club’s toughest holes. Garcia posted 3-under 68 on Saturday to reach 5-under total for 54 holes and is in position for his first PGA Tour win since the 2012 Wyndham Championship.
