«As play continued through round 3, it became apparent that the pin placement on the 6th hole was too severe to play.»

According to the outlet, the 308-yard par-4 hole had a 5% slope, on which 29 golfers shot triple bogeys or worse and, before the stats were cleared, the hole played more than 1.5 shots over par.

Video of the round, obtained by Golf Channel’s Brentley Romine, showed how difficult the hole was to play. Some near-perfect putts came to a slow stop before rolling back to the feet of the competitors.

«They should have known better than to put [the hole] there,» a coach told the outlet. “They just said they were sorry and they felt bad.”
