Oh No He Didn't: Sergio Makes Fried Chicken Joke

Fuzzy, I have Sergio Garcia on line one, he wants to know what he's gotten himself into now.

Ewan Murray with what figures to escalate the Sergio-Tiger spat into a full-fledged controversy and some rough times for Sergio if Fuzzy Zoeller's past use of a similar joke is any barometer.

Quote

    The Spaniard was on stage at the European Tour's gala players' awards dinner, where he was questioned by the Golf Channel's Steve Sands. García, who has been embroiled in verbal battles with Woods since the Players Championship at Sawgrass this month, was asked in jest if he would have the American round for dinner one night during the upcoming US Open. "We will have him round every night," García said. "We will serve fried chicken."

Sheeesh...Sergio is a thin-skinned, insecure and is absolutely gutless in choke after choke...when will he learn?

Garcia needs to find an arch-enemy who is somewhat competitive...Sergio is NOT in Tiger's weight class...MUD

Only a year ago, after seeing Garcia pluck the tee shot at the 17th tee at the Players...Tiger would say, "There but for the Grace of God...."

But truthfully, have never seen a melt down like that on the last two holes in my life. 

But it's going to be fun to see how this plays out.  It will definitely knock RGIII's wedding registry off the front pages.   :laugh:

A while back, Sergio was dating Greg Norman's daughter.  At the time I was thinking that if the two got married and had children, their offspring may well be the greatest chokers in history.  Both Sergio and Greg Norman are monumental chokers.  Norman, at least, was able to eke out a couple of Open Championship titles, but he should be up there with Sir Nick Faldo in majors, given how much talent he had.  He simply could not play on Sunday when a big title was on the line, and neither can Garcia.

As for the Tiger vs Garcia feud, neither one of them has the moral high ground as far as I am concerned.  I enjoy watching Tiger Woods play golf, but beyond his golf game, there is very little else about him that I find impressive.  I'd hate to see him break Nicklaus' record.  But given how well Tiger is playing, it would be a surprise if he failed to win at least one major this year.  He'd have won the Masters but for a fluke carom off a flagstick that ended up costing him 3-4 strokes.

Really stupid comment on Sergio's part. He may choose to avoid U.S. tournaments, as he'll be treated worse than Colin Montogomerie by the American fans.

Wasn't there a golf pro back in the 90's who used to make comments like that?  He was a good friend of Rush's but I can't remember his name.  :shrug:

I know Fuzzy Zoeller lost some endorsement income over 'sensitive' remarks he made about fried chicken.

Fuzzy was practically crucified for his  fried chicken comment about Tiggy.  Sergio now will get the same treatment.
