Unveiling the Unusual: A Wild Friday at the PGA Championship
**Tour Confidential: Bizarre Friday at the PGA Championship**
Friday’s second round of the PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club was filled with bizarre incidents, including a bee attack, a rules violation, and a player withdrawal.
The day began with a swarm of bees attacking several players and caddies on the 13th hole. One player, Brooks Koepka, was stung several times and had to receive medical attention.
Later in the day, Dustin Johnson was penalized two strokes for grounding his club in a bunker on the 17th hole. Johnson was initially unaware of the violation, but the PGA of America later reviewed the video footage and assessed the penalty.
The most bizarre incident of the day occurred when Bubba Watson withdrew from the tournament after injuring his back while trying to hit a shot out of a bunker on the 15th hole. Watson said that he had been experiencing back pain all week and that the injury was too severe to continue playing.
