Missing or being late to a tee time is never a good thing. Especially at a professional golf event.
That’s what happened to Mackenzie Hughes on Saturday, who was penalized two shots for being late to his third-round tee time at the 2024 Genesis Scottish Open at The Renaissance Club. The penalty was added to his score on the first hole, giving him a double-bogey 6.
Hughes’ tee time was scheduled for 2:45 p.m. local time in Scotland, so one can wonder how he was late.
However, the late start didn’t seem to hamper Hughes, who was 1 under for his round thru 10 holes and inside the top 20 on the leaderboard.
Mackenzie Hughes was assessed a two-stroke penalty for being late to his third-round tee time at the Genesis Scottish Open.
The two-stroke penalty was applied to the par-4 first hole.
