CARNOUSTIE, Scotland (Reuters) - Sergio Garcia all but shot himself out of the title equation with a 75 at the British Open on Thursday but there was some consolation for the 2017 U.S. Masters champion as he conjured one of the strokes of the day.

The 38-year-old Spaniard, benefiting from the huge carries afforded by the rock-hard fairways, crunched a 400-yard drive at the par-four 10th hole that landed in the infamous Barry Burn that snakes its way round the Carnoustie links.
