Garrick Higgo får två slags plikt efter sen ankomst till PGA Championship

Den sydafrikanske golfaren Garrick Higgo inledde sin runda i PGA Championship med två slags plikt efter att ha anlänt en minut för sent till sin utslagstid på torsdagsmorgonen på Aronimink Golf Club.

Higgo, 27, befann sig på övningsgreenen när hans spelpartner Shaun Micheel kallades till första tee klockan 07:18. Hans caddie uppmanade honom att skynda sig, men Higgo nådde utslagsplatsen klockan 07:19, vilket utlöste plikten enligt regel 5.3a för att inte vara på plats med klubba och boll vid den schemalagda tiden. Han slog sitt första utslag mitt i fairway på det 430 yards långa par 4-hålet och noterade en 6:a på scorekortet efter två puttar, vilket innebar att han var två över par efter ett hål innan han hämtade upp det och avslutade rundan på 69 slag.
