ARDMORE, Pa. (AP) — In what was talked about Monday as “The Handshake,” Tiger Woods and Sergio Garcia finally saw each other on the Merion Golf Club practice range for the first time since Garcia jokingly said last month he would have Woods over for dinner during the U.S. Open and “we will serve fried chicken.”
They shook hands on the range, a moment captured by a U.S. Open fan who posted it to his Twitter account.
Woods and Garcia had been going at it since the third round of The Players Championship, a feud that began when Garcia suggested Woods should have been paying attention when taking a club from the bag, which caused the gallery to cheer as Garcia was about to play his shot.
They traded barbs for the next few weeks through the media. Both are scheduled to have news conferences today.
