At the end of a long, tough opening day for Marcel Siem in the DP World Tour’s PGA BMW Championship, just about the only good decision the German veteran seemed to make was to take to social media in the evening to explain a strange choice he made that got him disqualified.
It’s better to be lucky than good. It’s an old saying and not an altogether true one, but you wouldn’t have known it if you were watching the final hole of Jon Rahm’s second round at the BMW PGA Championship.

Fittingly as things would later transpire, it was on the ninth tee in the final round of the BMW PGA Championship on Wentworth’s West Course that things started to go south for Matteo Manassero and north for the eventual champion, Billy Horschel.
A seemingly innocuous putt from T-45 finisher Robin Sciot-Siegrist at the BMW PGA Championship has been making waves on Twitter/X/whatever you call it now.

If Sergio Garcia thought he was getting the last laugh on the DP World Tour by being at the Texas-Alabama college football game Saturday instead of playing at the BMW PGA Championship, he might have another thing coming.
Safe to say there isn’t a soul in Lowry’s entourage who would have passed a breathalyser by the time last call rolled around, but one of these men is most definitely like the other.
