3 Times Golfers Were Accused Of Cheating
Desperate times call for desperate measures. And it can be frustrating to have several strokes gone bad. Golfers in recent years have stood accused of the crime of cheating.
Patrick Reed's Rap Sheet
PGA figure Patrick Reed has a rap sheet that began as a freshman at the University of Georgia when he was barred from the team for cheating and stealing. And it is apparent that he hasn't learned his lesson yet. In 2019, he received a two-stroke penalty for moving sand away from his ball before teeing off. And the story continues.
Sung Kang: A Good Shot?
Sung Kang raised some serious eyebrows during the 2018 Quicken Loans games. He made six birdies, which are considered excellent winning shots. The problem was his partner, Joel Dahmen. Dahmen openly accused Kang of cheating. His issue? The ball failed to cross the water hazard before reaching the hole. Was Kang a good shot, or did he cheat? Time will tell.
Gary Player: Truth Or Not?
Winner of several majors, Gary Player apparently wasn't going to escape the blade of accusation. An anonymous source made that allegation without any known proof. But what's not known is this: Gary Player told on himself for cheating. He was barred from a critical tournament but accepted the consequences well.
