Notes: Calc in Masters; Sergio Spitting Mad

Garcia may be facing a fine from the PGA TOUR, which traditionally does not comment on such sanctions.
 
TOUR commissioner Tim Finchem told NBC Sports during their broadcast Sunday that he had not talked to Garcia about the incident, but intends to.
 
"I won't comment on the specifics here," Finchem said. "I will say that, you know, we try to avoid conduct that creates a distraction. It's a negative for the fans. That's a distraction for the media. And we try hard to avoid it. And thankfully, in golf, on the PGA TOUR, we don't have too much of it, frankly."
 
ALLENBY RISES:
When Robert Allenby sped up, he quickly rose up the leaderboard.
 
After shooting his second straight round of 2-over 74 on Saturday, Allenby spent some extra time on the practice green and realized his pre-putt routine was too long. So he spent less time over the ball Sunday, and the result was a 5-under 67 with 27 putts -- four less than he took in the second and third rounds.
 
"As soon as that club goes back behind the ball, I'm ready to go," Allenby said. "I just felt like I free-wheeled the putter all day."
 
Allenby, who also shot 67 in the opening round, tied for third with Geoff Ogilvy and Sergio Garcia.
 
TOO TOUGH:
Doral's famed "Blue Monster" lived up to its billing, especially so for one-quarter of the CA Championship field.
 
Out of 72 finishers, 18 didn't finish under par in any round -- a list including major championship winners David Toms, Mike Weir and Michael Campbell, the 2005 U.S. Open champion who placed next-to-last this week at 18 over, two strokes better than Shingo Katayama.
 
Not surprisingly, the list of players who shot every round under par at Doral was considerably shorter: Only Sergio Garcia shot 71 or better in all four rounds.
