Scoring confusion cleared up on No. 10 for Garcia

For at least an hour on Friday afternoon, Sergio Garcia’s score at Augusta National Golf Club’s scoring central and leaderboards around the course was posted incorrectly.

The score had Garcia making triple bogey 7 on the 10th hole when he actually made five.

The mix-up among the on-course scorers came when Garcia hit a provisional ball off the tee. He found the original ball and played it, but the scorers believed he was playing his provisional, for which he would have incurred a two-stroke penalty.

Garcia hit his second shot into a greenside bunker, blasted out and two-putted for bogey.

With the bogey on No. 10, Garcia had moved into a tie with Charley Hoffman for the tournament lead at the time, though the scoreboards didn’t reflect that.
