South Africa’s Garrick Higgo is penalized two shots at the PGA Championship after arriving late to his first-round tee time at Aronimink Golf Club. Multiple outlets report the penalty is imposed for being a minute or so late, with the PGA of America citing his practice activity on the putting green before he made it to the tee. BBC News, Sky Sports, and other reports describe the decision as a rare two-shot penalty taken before Higgo steps on the first tee. Higgo has disputes around the timing, with some coverage stating he was late by less than a minute and describing the circumstances of his start. In reactions covered by Golf.com and other outlets, Higgo’s caddie, Austin Gaugert, also takes responsibility, saying he “fell short” in relation to the rules incident. Despite receiving the penalty, Higgo later plays but ends up missing the cut, according to the reports. The incident denies him a share of the lead in the opening round as described by BBC News and contributes to a difficult start to his tournament.
