In the first round of the PGA Championship of Charlotte-America’s PGA, there was a slight mudp buckle of some of the best players in the world on Thursday after the decision should be played.
Quail Hollow Club is sunk after the last rains, even in the middle of Fairway, the left sludge on the golf balls that cause some stray shots.
“The world’s top player Scottie Scheffler,” Fairway in the middle of the ball in the middle of the ball and to get mud on and where to go, “he has no idea.” He said. “I understand it’s a part of the game, but there’s nothing more annoying for a player.
“You are trying to find out how to control a golf ball of your whole life, and because of a rule decision, suddenly there is absolutely no control on where this golf ball goes. But I do not do the rules. I just have to deal with the results of these rules.”
Scheffler is still in the 16th hole in the first round despite the double Bogay 6, 2-six 69 managed to make fashion. His approach was green, he found water with mud accumulation on his ball.
Defending the PGA championship winner Xander Schauffele found a 16 -year -old problem due to the mud in his ball. In addition, before the end of 72, a couple recorded a bogey at Fairway.
“I’m not the only man. I’m in front of the camera,” Schauffele said, the players were not allowed to clean the golf balls muddy. “I don’t want to go to the locker room because I am sure that many men are not very happy with some kinds of conditions.
Elevator cleaning and ground rule are not rare during normal PGA tour activities. However, the rule is not easily given in big tournaments.
“When you consider the purest golf test, I don’t think you should be punished in the middle of Fairway when you think of the purest golf test.” He said. “In a golf field, so well conditioned, this is probably the least possible difference in playing it, because most of the lies you get here are really good.”
Schauffele claimed that a shot at the center of Fairway was like a penalty when the mud sticks to the ball.
“When you hit Fairway, you have to be 50/50.” He said.
And on Thursday, it is as unfortunate as the 16th hole for both Scheffler and Schauffele, as well as the unfortunate, mud problems are expected to worse even if it does not rain. As the course dries, the mud will become clay -like clusters on the ball instead of wet dirt beds where the players are now dealing with.
“I don’t know, maybe he hit a little lower than Tee, but unfortunately, the ball not to move or roll anywhere, so the problem you don’t sacrifice the distance then,” he said. “A little crapshoot.”
