Joel Dahmen accuses Sung-hoon Kang of cheating

Joel Dahmen, who gained some glory when he was paired with Tiger Woods last Saturday at the National Quicken Loans, was in the spotlight for a different reason after the tournament's final round because he has publicly called another player.

Asked via Twitter about why he and his gaming partner Sung-hoon Kang had allowed another group to play, Dahmen replied, "Kang cheated, he took a bad fall from a

Playing the 10th par-5 hole, Kang's second shot found the danger lining the hole.

Where the ball went through the danger determines where a player can fall, and the golfers and their Cadets apparently disagree The disagreement took so long that the group behind – Ben Crane and Ryan Palmer – played a game. A PGA Tour rules official was called and finally sided with Kang and allowed him to get closer to the hole. "It was a typical conflict or Dahmen said on Twitter. "He clearly did not clear the danger, we went forward for 25 minutes and he eventually got closer to the green."

Asked why he had signed Kang's card, Dahmen said, "At that moment there is nothing to do, if I do not sign the card, the official rules will do it. simply the inevitable. "

When a ball crosses a side obstacle is always difficult, especially without video.Usually, the referees rank on the side of the player, but a competitor who opposes it if strongly to such a decision is rare.When a new set of rules comes into effect on January 1, such conflicts will fall even more in favor of the player, even if the video evidence later suggests that he is wrong. The idea is to give the player the benefit of the doubt.

Kang saved the put on the hole and continued to shoot 64, finishing tied for third and winning a place in The Open at Carnoustie via a D & D category. Exemption the tournament to the top four finishers is not already Francesco Molinari won the tournament by eight strokes

The PGA Tour then issued a statement on his behalf that says: "He stands on the decision that was made by the PGA Tour officials on Sunday and did not go out. will have no more comment, others he is eager to focus on the end of the season, and he is excited about the opportunity to play again in the Open Championship in a few weeks. "

He also issued his own statement in which the tour said the official interviewed all parties and there was" no clear evidence to prove the contrary ", with regard to where Kang should fall. Kang, 31, has never won on the PGA Tour but has won a victory over the Asian Tour as well as several others in his native South Korea.
