Garcia still in the driving seat after surviving disqualification threat
After coming home in 31 shots for a 69 to get to six under and take a one stroke lead into the weekend, the brilliant 24-year-old Spaniard was required to explain exactly what had happened at the short 3rd hole where he had taken a double bogey five.
He would have been thrown out of the tournament if he couldn’t satisfy chief referee John Paramor that he had not broken the rules when dealing with a lost ball.
