The Spaniard, the 1994 and 1999 Masters champion, was clocked driving 97 miles an hour in a 65 mph zone when stopped by an Effingham County Sheriff’s deputy on Monday, sheriff’s spokesman David Ehsanipoor said.

Olazabal, who had missed the cut at the Masters, posted a $621 cash bond and was released. “He was very cooperative and apologetic,” Ehsanipoor said.
