Garrick Higgo misses tee time at PGA Championship — gets hit with rare penalty
Garrick Higgo faced a two-stroke penalty for arriving late to his PGA Championship tee time, dropping his potential first-round score from 67 to 69 and contributing to a missed cut by one stroke after Friday’s round.

Discrepancies exist in how timing and penalties are framed, with the two-stroke figure attributed to Higgo’s round change and the late arrival affecting his final standing rather than the overall result of the tournament so far.
