The purse at this week’s Charles Schwab Challenge is nothing to sneeze at. The field was playing for $US7.3 million with winner Kevin Na earning $1,314,000. But there was something else on the line at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth that caught the interest of many watching the historic PGA Tour event.
PGA Tour players don’t have much tolerance for ill-behaved fans in 2019. So when a spectator bothered Kevin Na during his Saturday round at Colonial, he didn’t just brush it off as the nature of today’s game.
This year has seen no shortage of bizarre rules snafus since the USGA and R&A rolled out the new Rules of Golf on January 1. Sunday at the Players Championship was no exception.
Although this is just the fifth albatross in Players Championship history, it’s the third consecutive year in which the feat has been accomplished at the PGA Tour’s flagship event.
