Marco Penge was having none of the antics surrounding Bryson DeChambeau and the delay on issuing tee times at The Open.
DeChambeau initially threatened to withdraw in the aftermath of his two-shot penalty on Friday evening.
That threat was enough to cause the R & A to postpone issuing tee times. Something that has irked many players.
“Yeah, it was a bit of a joke really,” said Penge.
“I’m staying at home this week, which is an hour away, and not getting a tee time until 11:00 p.m. is not great, really, when the tournament probably finished at.. we could have at least got a heads up for what time the first tee time was going to be.”
“Obviously there was a lot of commotion, so that delayed things…
“I mean, clearly it was what I presumed on social media, that Bryson was deciding whether he was going to play or not. I presume until they were told whether he was going to play, then we wouldn’t get the tee time until then.”
