Springfield, GA – Ryder Cup captain Jose Maria Olazabal was arrested Monday in Georgia after being caught speeding.
According to the website of the Effingham County Sheriff's office, Olazabal was stopped for going 97 miles per hour in a 65-mph zone. Reports indicate that he told police he was leaving the Masters, posted a cash bond of $621 and was released.
