'My caddie was yelling at me' - late Higgo denied US PGA lead
BBC Sport·May 14, 2026
Garrick Higgo, a golfer from South Africa, was given a rare two-shot penalty at the start of his first round in the US PGA Championship. The penalty was imposed because he arrived a minute late to the tee, a mistake that cost him a share of the lead. Higgo's caddie had been trying to hurry him along, yelling at him in an effort to get him to the tee on time. The penalty ultimately denied Higgo a chance to top the leaderboard after the first round.
