Undeterred, he continued:
– I can do nothing however apologize. I’m at the very least as disenchanted and offended as you at house. It is a farce now – with all types of different checklist fillers that cease right here. It could be fully silly to not admit it. We’re sorry, however there’s nothing we will do about it.
With a spherical of 5 bogey-free pictures underneath par, Hovland entered the victory match earlier than the ultimate spherical of the US PGA Golf Championship.
The match is performed at Valhalla Golf Membership in Kentucky.
