Sergio Garcia approached Tiger Woods at the driving range at Merion Golf Club on Monday and after a brief exchange shook hands with the world no. one in an apparent attempt to make up after their recent unpleasantness.
The meeting during practice for the US Open was the first between the longtime adversaries since Garcia made a “fried chicken” reference directed at Woods last month at a European Tour awards dinner. Garcia has since apologised and Woods told reporters “it was time to move on”. Tensions between the two flared last month at the Players Championship, when Garcia suggested Woods showed poor sportsmanship by pulling a club from his bag as the Spaniard was about to hit a shot.
The two later exchanged verbal jabs through the media over the incident.
