Garrick Higgo's late arrival received a troll from ESPN's PGA Championship coverage.ESPN
Garrick Higgo was late to his tee time on Thursday morning at the PGA Championship by âone secondâ and received a two-shot penalty for his tardiness.
On Friday afternoon, ESPN ensured he wouldnât make it two days in a row ⊠with the best troll of the golf season so far.
Perhaps you saw the story from Garrick Higgoâs disaster start at the PGA Championship on Thursday, when he was assessed a two-shot penalty after arriving less than a minute late for his tee time to start the second major of the season.
Higgoâs penalty was one of the rarer feats of major championship rules inanity. It is exceedingly unusual to see a player miss his tee time, even if, as he explained on Thursday afternoon, he was only a few seconds behind his scheduled arrival time.
âI was there at 7:18 and 30 seconds, you know what I mean?â he said after. âI donât know. I donât want to be there 10 minutes early. I know that five minutes is fine. I thought I had time. I was obviously too casual, yeah.â
