Post Question To

If Craig wrote a question on a online forum and the question was intended for Larry:

----1 "Craig posted a question to Larry."

Should the part "to Larry" modify "a question", or "posted"? Like, should sentence 1 be interpreted with "a question to Larry" acting as a single unit:

----"Craig posted [ a question to Larry ]."

or should the sentence 1 be interpreted like this:

----"Craig posted to Larry a question."
