Last year at The American Express, rookie Will Chandler, who played collegiately at Georgia, was mistaken for one of the amateurs in the field. <\/p>\n
This year at the pro-am-style tournament, another Bulldog, veteran Brian Harman, mistook an amateur\u2019s ball for his own, according to the broadcast.<\/p>\n
Harman played the wrong ball from the middle of the 10th fairway at PGA West\u2019s Stadium Course during Thursday\u2019s opening round. It was reported that it was not the ball of his playing competitor, Max Homa, but rather one of two amateurs in the group. It was unclear, however, whether it was Harman\u2019s partner.<\/p>\n
After a two-shot penalty, Harman played the correct ball, wedging 122 yards to 13 feet. He missed the bogey putt and carded double bogey. It ended up being the first of two straight doubles, as he then carded a \u20187\u2019 on the par-5 11th to drop to 2 over on the round, a dozen shots off the lead at the time.<\/p>\n
He finished with a 1-over 73, tied for 142nd.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Last year at The American Express, rookie Will Chandler, who played collegiately at Georgia, was mistaken for one…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":425328,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[71],"tags":[427,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-425327","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-golf","8":"tag-golf","9":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/425327","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=425327"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/425327\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/425328"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=425327"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=425327"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=425327"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
