Tiger leaves Sergio to sweat some more

Tiger Woods may not be sure how the course will play or whether attack or defence is the best option in the 113th US Open. Just one thing is certain — he’s going to leave Sergio Garcia swinging in the wind a little while longer.

The Spaniard’s racially insensitive remarks at last month’s BMW PGA at Wentworth, where he joked that he’d serve Woods “fried chicken” every night if he was asked to take him home for dinner, simply won’t fade away.

Garcia has apologised publicly, phoned Woods’ manager to apologise again and even offered Woods a handshake at Merion on Monday. He’s also had to apologise to his sponsors.
