He said, Im not sharing my locker at the moment, and I hope that I get to do it with you.That would be the locker in the Champions Locker Room at Augusta National, where champions usually share with other champions because of limited space.Garcia looked to Craig Heatley, the Augusta National member who was conducting the interview, and politely asked him if he could find a way for Olazabal and Garcia to become locker mates.Hes a great man and weve had a great relationship for many, many years, Garcia said of Olazabal.
