Apology accepted after profanity-filled argument

Sun., May 15, 2011

Sean O’Hair said he and Rory Sabbatini talked by telephone the week after their profanity-filled argument on the golf course in New Orleans and they are ready to move on. The next move is how the PGA Tour chooses to respond. It does not make public any discipline. O’Hair (pictured right) said at The Players Championship at Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla., that Sabbatini sent him a text last week asking O’Hair to call so they could talk it over. “He apologized and I apologized,” O’Hair said. “Life goes on.” According to multiple players and officials, the New Orleans incident was the second time this year that Sabbatini has run into trouble because of his behavior on the golf course.
