Davis and Zalatoris count cost of ball mix-up
Cameron Davis and Will Zalatoris missed out on thousands of pounds in prize money due to a mix-up at the Sentry Tournament in Hawaii, where they hit each other's balls, incurring two-shot penalties.
Davis finished at 22 under par, earning $410,000, but would have earned $715,625 without penalties, while Zalatoris ended at 19 under, winning $163,333 instead of $283,200.
Had they not corrected their mistake, they would have faced disqualification from the tournament, which was won by Hideki Matsuyama.
The PGA Tour stated that after realizing their mistake, they played from the proper location of their third shot, now having to play their fifth shot instead.
