A new layer to the feud between Tiger Woods and Sergio Garcia has unraveled.

In the third round of this past weekend’s Players Championship, Garcia complained that Woods caused the crowd to cheer during the Spaniard’s backswing. Before his second shot on the second hole, Woods pulled out a five-wood, and the fans erupted, which Garcia says disrupted his shot.

Television replays showed that the incident occurred when Garcia was still standing over the ball. Even so, Garcia told NBC that Woods should have been more careful.
