Garcia found water left of the green with his approaches to both 16 and 18 and three-putted the par-3 17th.The Green Mile, which typically closes the Wells Fargo Championship, has proven the toughest three-hole closing stretch on PGA Tour dating back to 2003, playing .916 strokes over par.Of course, this wasnt Garcias first unfortunate run through the Mile. The then-25-year-old let a victory slip away here in 2005 when he surrendered a six-shot, 54-hole lead, finding the water at 17 before losing in a playoff.You just have to get out there and hit good shots, and hopefully make three pars, or squeeze a birdie in there, Garcia added. But if you hit bad shots, youre going to get penalized badly.Other notable names to struggle in Thursdays early wave included Henrik Stenson (+3), Bubba Watson (+6), and Thomas Pieters (+8).
