Publication by EssentiallySports

April 12, 2026 | Edition #238

 👋 Hey Patrons,

One bad shot, and Sergio Garcia went berserk. His rampage prompted fellow Spaniard Jon Rahm to come forward, trying to calm him down. Later, we saw a top-ranked Masters official confront him.

P.S. This is a quick mid-round update from the moving day. We’ll be back with more updates and detailed coverage right after the round ends.

Let’s get started…

The former Masters champion went berserk and faced the consequences.







Frank Stranahan was escorted off the 1948 Masters for allegedly using two balls during the practice round. He was the runner-up of the previous year’s Masters and denied the charge. He argued he only used multiple balls around the green, which was permitted. However, the Masters officials found it flimsy and booted him from the course. He returned next year to finish T-19.
