CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Padraig Harrington was carted back out to the 13th tee after his round following reports he had teed off in front of the tee marker on Sunday at Quail Hollow.
After a lengthy discussion with PGA Tour rules officials Harrington, along with his playing partner Phil Mickelson, went back to the clubhouse to review the tape of the incident.
‘No way I teed it up there,’ Harrington told the rules official. ‘I’d have to be a blind person to do that.’
Members of the gallery reported the incident and officials were eyeing a divot that had been made in front of the marker, but both Mickelson and Harrington didn’t think it was the Northern Irishman’s.
