PGA of Australia gets caught up in Masters

Published Apr. 15, 2013 12:21 a.m. ET

The PGA of Australia has been criticized on Twitter during the final round of the Masters for tweeting that ''we need a mistake'' from Angel Cabrera.

With Jason Day, Adam Scott and Marc Leishman all contending for a first green jacket for any Australian, the PGA of Australia tweeted: ''We need a mistake from the big hitting Argentine down 13.''

A few minutes later, the ruling body for golf in Australia was criticized by a California follower: ''Really? (hash)badssportsmanship.''

The Australian PGA quickly tweeted a reply: ''We shouldn't wish bad luck for anyone and the previous tweet was bad sportsmanship Clearly let our enthusiasm get in the way.''
