The singling out of an amateur was an odd move, especially given that the final two groups of the third round each took three hours to play their opening nine holes. Of the six players in the last two threesomes, five were professionals, Duke's Gina Kim being the only amateur among them. This is not the first time an amateur has been hit with a penalty in a major event. At the 2013 Masters, 14-year-old amateur Tianlang Guan was given the rare penalty in the second round. Fortunately, he still made the cut by one stroke.
