Olazabal was arrested for speeding shortly after leaving Augusta
National, Georgia police said on Tuesday.
The Spaniard, the 1994 and 1999 Masters champion, was
clocked driving 97 miles an hour in a 65 mph zone when stopped
by an Effingham County Sheriff's deputy on Monday, sheriff's
spokesman David Ehsanipoor told Reuters.
Olazabal, who missed the cut in last weekend's Masters
tournament, posted a $621 cash bond and was released.
"He was very cooperative and apologetic," Ehsanipoor said.
Olazabal will skipper holders Europe in the Ryder Cup in
Illinois in September.
