What was Garcia's problem with Poulter?

Question

Why was the stroppy Spaniard pouting about Ian Poulter after their fifth round match at the WGC in Arizona?

Answer 1

Apparently the dispute between the pair stems from a stray shot that Poulter hit, seeing his approach finish in a bush in the desert scrub. At first Poulter wanted a free drop because he felt a television tower was obstructing his ball, but following debate with two rules officials he finally played the ball from where it was. The implication is that Poulter tried to seek an unfair advantage - but seeing as he was 4up at the time, there's more than a touch of sour grapes about it as far as I can see. Whatever, Garcia said that Poulter was "the one who has to live with it." Poulter eventually leathered the curmudgeonly Spaniard 7 & 6.
