Garcia, playing with Rafa Cabrera Bello, stepped up on the fifth tee looking to make inroads on Patrick Reed and Jordan Spieth, who were already two up by that point.

His tee-shot was a poor one and went straight into the herd of supporters down the left edge of the fairway. There was some confusion for a couple of minutes as the stewards searched for the ball, until they found it in an unusual place!
