He signed his opponent\u2019s card because he had no choice, since if he refused, the rules official would do it, but Joel Dahmen was very clear that Sung Kang had cheated by dropping a hole. It happened at the Quicken Loans National on the PGA Tour. Several hours after the conclusion of Sunday\u2019s round at TPC Potomac, Dahmen wrote on Twitter that Kang cheated on the 10th hole. The rivals argued there for more than 20 minutes, allowing another match to pass them, before a referee finally went with the version of events held by Kang. <\/p>\n
When asked on Twitter about the long delay, Dahmen was adamant: \u201cKang cheated,\u201d he wrote. \u201cHe made a bad drop from the hurdle. I argued until I got tired, and lost.\u201d <\/p>\n
Dahmen explained in subsequent tweets that he and Kang had what he described as \u201ca typical dispute\u201d involving a drop on 10. Kang, 31, believed his ball had landed in the hazard, allowing him to drop it on the side of the hazard that was closest to the hole. Dahmen disagreed on Kang\u2019s drop. <\/p>\n
Kang made par on that hole and finished third at 12 under par. Dahmen, who finished the tournament in 23rd place, said he had no choice at the end of the round but to sign Kang\u2019s scorecard, officially certifying his result. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\u201cAt that point I couldn\u2019t do anything else,\u201d Dahmen wrote on Twitter. \u201cIf I didn\u2019t sign the card, a rules official would. I would simply be delaying the inevitable.\u201d <\/p>\n
The PGA Tour explained that the referee interviewed both players, caddies and nearby marshals and determined that there was no evidence to show wrongdoing by Kang.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
