Garrick Higgo recibe una penalización de dos golpes por llegar tarde al PGA Championship

El golfista sudafricano Garrick Higgo comenzó su ronda en el PGA Championship con una penalización de dos golpes tras llegar un minuto tarde a su hora de salida el jueves por la mañana en el Aronimink Golf Club.

Higgo, de 27 años, se encontraba en el green de práctica cuando llamaron a su compañero de juego, Shaun Micheel, al primer tee a las 7:18 a. m. Su caddie le instó a darse prisa, pero Higgo llegó al tee a las 7:19 a. m., lo que activó la penalización bajo la Regla 5.3a por no estar presente con el palo y la bola en mano a la hora programada. Realizó su golpe de salida inicial por el centro del hoyo de par 4 y 430 yardas, y terminó con una tarjeta de 6 tras dos putts, lo que lo dejó con dos golpes sobre par tras el primer hoyo antes de recuperarse y registrar una ronda de 69 golpes.
