Twitter ribs Sergio for smashing putter, but can relate
Sergio Garcia didn't help himself Sunday at the Dell Technologies Championship.
Garcia eliminated his putter from competition at the par-4 fourth hole when he damaged the club in anger after playing a poor second shot. The broken putter forced him to use another club to putt for the remainder of the round, and it wasn't pretty for Garcia on the greens.
The Spaniard actually birdied the fourth with a 3-wood, but bogeyed four of the next five holes to post a front-nine 39, provoking a variety of reactions from social media.

After the 3-wood went cold, Garcia switched to a driver, but to no avail.

Watching Sergio Garcia miss one foot putts with his driver is the best thing on tv today #FedExCup

Sergio Garcia getting frustrated and bending his putter, now having to use his driver to putt is all of us. #SummerIsOver

Sergio busted his putter, using driver to putt...12 putts last 5 holes. I would go with belly sand wedge, not driver...you?

At this point, pretty much just waiting for Sergio Garcia to go all-in for the one-club challenge.
