One day after saying he never meant to say he couldn't win The Masters, Sergio Garcia convinced everyone he was right the first time. After shooting a 66 on Thursday, he shot 76 on Friday, falling from a tie for first to a tie for 15th.
Garcia looks for scapegoats and excuses when he plays poorly. Friday ,it was that dastardly wind.
``There were some shots you would hit well that would make you look a little bit silly, like what happened to me on 15," he said. ``I hit a great three-iron. It's almost dead calm when Angel (Cabrera) and Adam (Scott) were hitting. I hit mine, I hit what I thought was a perfect shot to the middle of the green and caught a huge gust and unfortunately it comes up short into the water.
``You know, those things you can't really control."
Cabrera managed. He shot a 69.

The Masters penalized 14-year-old amateur Tianlang Guan a shot for slow play. The tournament is within its rights to do so, but hadn't called a similar penalty on another golfer since 1995.
Guan said he understood and accepted the penalty.
